Chael Sonnen on Submission Radio
“Bruce Lee was a wimp. Bruce Lee couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag. But he lived in Los Angles, California, so he was able to bring people that were in the media; producers, directors, future actors. He took them in their backyard, he kicked their ass, he was a wimp. But he found people who were wimpier than he was and eventually they got to media outlets and TV and movies and they all spread the legend of Bruce Lee. So good for him. You know, there’s a guy named Judo Gene LeBell. I don’t want to tease Gene LeBell. He’s a thousand years old, but Gene LeBell has this huge myth around him that he was some kind of a tough guy. Gene LeBell in his prime could not make the varsity wrestling team at my local high school. But he lived in Los Angeles, California, so he’d bring guys into his garage and he’d put them in armbars and chokeholds. And again, Gene LeBell was a wimp but the guys that he beat up were bigger wimps, and they went on to make it in TV and movies and they went and spread the legend. And that’s the way it goes. I mean, you could keep going down the list. Steven Segal. All these myths – Van Damme.”
Wow, I mean, taking a shot at the martial arts legend and godfather of MMA Bruce Lee? That’s just low.
