Bruce Lee in MMA

This month, ESPN released the highly anticipated 30 for 30 documentary, “Be Water”, which analyzes the incredible life and career of Bruce Lee. A philosopher, actor, director, screenwriter, producer, and martial artist, Lee was born in San Francisco, California in November of 1940. Named by Time Magazine one the 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century, Lee is one of the most renowned martial artists of all-time and inspired an entire generation of UFC fighters. For instance, in a 2013 Bleacher Report piece, UFC fighters such as Kenny Florian, Urijah Faber, Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, Mauro Ranallo, Roy Nelson, King Mo Lawal, Michelle Waterson, and Uriah Hall, released statements speaking of their respect and admiration for Lee.
