Michael Jai White: It's Important for People to Think Bruce Lee Can't be Beat (Flashback)

In this VladTV Flashback from 2021, Michael Jai White spoke about the importance of people thinking Bruce Lee can't be beaten despite contrary. But considering the investment people put into people, places, and concepts, it makes sense why those ideas are protected. Fast forward, and the lore surrounding Bruce Lee continues to grip people's imagination as a workout designed by the famed actor and martial artist went viral.

Michael you live in a time of YouTube and you got enough money and connections to do your own movies be as hot as Bruce Lee. Bruce lived in the 60s and 70s where he had to beg people to give him an opportunity when segregation was still active. He always gonna be a bigger legend than you cause he opened the doors for everyone like you.

[jasonallen]

I wish he would keep Bruce Lee name out of his mouth..

[flyguy]

He will never live down the fact that he thinks he could beat Bruce Lee bro Bruce Lee ain't even around to even debate that just because you big does not mean you can beat Bruce Lee Yes, you are a seasoned martial artist but Bruce Lee was the real deal

[livingproof.]

The fake tk Kirkland page didn't comment yet ? He must be sleeping right now

[lamekwilliam]

MICHAEL is RIGHT. It's the human condition, to believe in things we hear, eventhough WE, actually DIDN'T see it. Someone's reputation whether good or bad can follow them WHEREVER they go.

[kekokid]

I saw Michael Jai white drop kick a whale in the nutz, no cap!!!

[mikehansen]

To everyone criticizing Michael: people actually think Bruce Lee would beat him, so he's responding. Nothing wrong in that.

[piffplayer]

This dude. Really talking about beating up somebody that died before he hit puberty.

[Wudamonkey]

I saw Michael Jai White jump over a bus i swear!!!

[mallyg]

My pops always said this to me.. "Your Fuck ups travel faster that your triumph's. Because it's human nature to gossip about the wrong more then the right

[immanuelsuleiman]

This guy is 6'1 and probably weighs about 225 lb of solid muscle and he's bragging about being able to beat a guy who died decades ago who was 5'8 and weighed maybe 160 lb?
This is strange

[EastSideDuppavilla]

Hes just speaking from the eyes of an actual fighter instead of you fan boys who trying to make this a negative thing, hes already said in a interview Bruce lee was one of the best but with my trianing & weight i would beat him. Stop sucking bruce lee off its just a realistic conversation just like the goat debate in basketball gosh a man believes in his abilities and they trynna act like hes hating

[beyondthefamecelebritystories]

He obsessed with beating up a dead man 😂 RIP BRUCE LEE

[dreddmann]

I've seen Micheal Jai White on low budget, B grade movies, I swear.
Look, just because he's not a huge star it doesn't change the fact that he really knows his shit. This man can really fuck shit up if needed.

[devilinthedetails]

Why are people angry about a flashback? Micahel Jai White was asked a question, he answered and it only became an ongoing thing because you Bruce Lee fans won’t let it go.

[O_MontY]

Bruce Lee wouldn’t have gone on VladTV -

[dreddmann]

of course Bruce Lee would have gotten beat. But let's not forget that he wasn't stuck on sticking to 1 style. So Bruce Lee would have evolved with the whole Mixed Martial Arts movement as it evolved. Lot of people who see Bruce Lee as invincible are people who never really been in a fight themselve. But people who know what it's really like to fight know that Bruce Lee would of expanded his knowledge and skills in martial arts. If you really pay attention to Bruce Lee when he talks you would know that he said when it comes to fighting he is real confident on being self effeciant with his skills. Even if he where to lose in a fight that he knows that he fought with everything he's got. That's what separates Bruce from a lot of other cats, is that if it really comes down to it you know he's really willing to get down, if he is being threatened he's willing to defend himself without backing down. Bruce Lee was a ahead of his time and ahead of everyone else as far as mixed martial arts is concerned. there's nobody on earth than can beat up everybody and not get beat up themselves. There will always be someone that's better than you. Nobody is invincible but that still doesn't change the fact that Bruce Lee will forever be a Legend.

[Katzenhase]

I can throw up when I see Michael Jai White´s arrogance. The guy had never a full contact fight in his life and badmouthed people like Bruce Lee or Steven Seagal who are 5times as famous as he is. Joe Lewis once said that Bruce Lee was by far the greatest and that he hit like a heavyweight. Of course, size and weight matters but only if you have similar skills. Bruce Lee was 5times as good as Michael Jai White ever will be.

[radiorakim]

I lost my respect to this dude. Bruce Lee is a legend, Jai just a actor

[arlissgalactus]

Tbh Michael Jai White is a real good fighter he earned my respect but he can't beat Bruce Lee that just all to it I'm sorry.
