Could Bruce Lee actually fight?

Postby GrahamB on Fri Sep 08, 2023 1:05 am

John Little joins me to discuss Bruce Lee's REAL fights. Was he just an actor, or could he fight for real? We discuss John's new book, Wrath of the Dragon: The real fights of Bruce Lee, available at all good booksellers now!

it's going to be stand up comedy, maybe a rap battle (I'll lose for sure)/poetry slam IN THE OCTAGON for the first time ever. even the weigh-in and stare down will be ROFL funny.

100% you guys are better at the poetry slam. i concede already. idk who wins between you and Quigga. only seen your delivery (loved it btw) in that video you posted, but haven't seen Quigga. seems you both are gifted with the words.
