|  Which mma fighters would Bruce Lee be a fan of?
I'm sure there are some Bruce Lee fans here on mmanews forums. I was reading up a bit on Bruce Lee's bio and it was said that he was a huge fan of Muhammad Ali based primarly on Ali's speed, reflexes, charisma and overall skills in his prime. Bruce had once even put his ego aside and admitted that Ali would've killed him easily if they had ever fought. I think he said this according to a book called "The Making of Enter the Dragon"
If Bruce was alive today at his old age of 65 and was observing today's martial artists, whom do you think he might be a big supporter of? For some reason, I think he'd be a fan of BJ Penn, based on Penn's excellent overall skill level which he posseses tons of, and his stand up striking ability. I also think Bruce would've been a big fan of the prime Vitor Belfort, since Bruce was a supporter of striking/boxing, a discipline he chose over most others including(maybe) Wing Chun.
For some reason, I think Bruce would dislike Tim Sylvia as we all do.
I hope I don't get flamed for this topic, I post in peace!!!

Sakuraba, Fedor, Nogueira, Vanderlei (for doing his hand thing when they announce his name), lots of people. He'd certainly be impressed by and respect anyone in MMA today having success.
