I think that about sums it up. Moviestar martial artists would whoop average person's ass pretty badly, but to win vs some1 who trained and fought the vs best fighters for 10-20 years, I'd be skeptical.

Bob Wall, USPK karate champion and co-star in Enter the Dragon, recalled a particularly serious encounter that transpired after a film extra kept taunting Lee. The extra yelled that Lee was "a movie star, not a martial artist," that he "wasn't much of a fighter." Lee answered his taunts by asking him to jump down from the wall he was sitting on. Bob Wall described Lee's opponent as "a gang-banger type of guy from Hong Kong," a "damned good martial artist," and observed that he was fast, strong, and bigger than Bruce. [17]
Wall recalled the confrontation in detail:
"This kid was good. He was strong and fast, and he was really trying to punch Bruce's brains in. But Bruce just methodically took him apart."[18]
"Bruce kept moving so well, this kid couldn't touch him...Then all of a sudden, Bruce got him and rammed his ass into the wall and swept him, he proceeded to drop his knee into his opponent's chest, locked his arm out straight, and nailed him in the face repeatedly."[19]
After his victory, Lee gave his opponent lessons on how to improve his fighting skills. His opponent, now impressed, would later say to Lee, "You really are a master of the martial arts."[18]
hahahahaha Bruce is the man.

* In the Special Features section of the "Cradle 2 the Grave" DVD, Li claimed that he would be defeated in real life by professional MMA fighters such as Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture, his co-stars in the film.
I don't agree. I think Jet Li wins in both scenarios.
And to the OP:
Lee could spring a 235 lb (107 kg) opponent 15 feet (4.6 metres) away with a 1 inch punch.

In a real world fight, you either get gang banged by 4-5 others, someone might have a concealed weapon (gun >> pretty much everything besides Keanu Reeves), and all out no-holds (sand in the eyes, crotch hitting, etc.)
You'll be surprised how some people can fight when they are doing it for their lives. This MMA and UFC shit is all for entertainment.

it just means he could throw a 235lb person off balance and make them move backwards 15 feet to catch thier balance. with a 1 inch punch. AFAIK the subjects of the 1 inch punch didnt brace themselves, they just stood normally. its not really some kind of extreme feat of strength, it just demonstrated how well lee could put his whole body behind a very small movement.

Uh, groin kick anyone? Krav Maga FTW!
Granted, I've actually seen MMA fighters train (the MMA session is right before my Krav session). It's hardcore shit. I wouldn't last in an extended fight with any of them. Hence the reason I love Krav.
No extended fights, no rules. You just disable your opponent and run. And it teaches how to fight multiple opponents on the higher levels.
I've got my first weapons training session tonight (disarming techniques) . This is gonna be kickass

KM is weak in MMA due to the lack of grapple teachings in KM ... when I was doing KM, the instructor even admitted it. Purpose behind KM is to avoid the fighting though, and just subdue your attacker. KM is still a sick, sick MA though ...

From about the middle of the page:

* In the Special Features section of the "Cradle 2 the Grave" DVD, Li claimed that he would be defeated in real life by professional MMA fighters such as Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, and Randy Couture, his co-stars in the film."
somebody here has that DVD, report back to us stat!
That's much easier to buy. Still, the onus is on the asserter. It's ridiculous to go around spreading information with no/barely any justification. It's intellectually dishonest.
We're talking about Jet Li and you're whining about "intellectual dishonesty" ... give me a break
Again, we're talking about potentially misattributing quotes. It's wrong to say somebody did something they didn't do. I don't know Jet Li, but spreading rumors about anybody is wrong. Seems pretty basic to me.
