Other than the obvious trolling...
It is true that a smaller person can take out a bigger person by targeting susceptible areas ( namely chin, throat/eyes/critical spots )...
It is true that a smaller person can take out a bigger person if the bigger person has less experience fighting and the smaller person has much more experience and knowledge...
It is true that a smaller person can take out a bigger person who's as experienced with a lucky blow...
With that said, Bruce Lee would die against Fedor.
Let's compare their strengths and weaknesses...
Fedor:
- 230 lbs, more muscle; ability to absorb more damage for body blows
- granite chin ( see Fujita right hand )
- practices evasion / dodging
- has competed in MMA professionally, has 32+ pro fights of experience along with training
- has competed in Sambo professionally, has been champion multiple times
- has world class judo / grappling skills; no one has come close to submitting him
- has trained for wrestling / tdd
- is considerably FAST for a hw, moves like a cat for a HW ( ++ ADVANTAGE )
Bruce Lee:
- 125 lbs; faster but FAR LESS power
- hasnt competed professionally, no real world experience using his techniques other than movies
- no proven chin or ability to take hits. considering he's 125 lbs he'd probably crumble fairly quick after taking even just one shot
- utilizes a lot of fancy kicks and jump kicks
- never trained a ground game or judo
- never trained wrestling / tdd
Scenarios:
1. Bruce Lee starts with a jump kick -> Fedor knocks him out Arlovski style
2. Bruce Lee starts with a jump kick -> Fedor moves out of the way and takes him down, breaks his arm via armbar.
3. Bruce Lee starts with a flurry of fists -> Fedor would most likely absorb those or counter, one fist lands and Bruce is KO'd
4. Bruce Lee starts with a flurry of fists -> Fedor would simply shoot in and take Bruce down, Bruce is completely useless on the ground
5. Bruce Lee starts with kicks -> Fedor either counters or catches the kick and trips Bruce, Bruce is useless on the ground
6. Bruce Lee shoots in on Fedor -> Fedor's TDD + mass nullifies the takedown and counter-judo trip or takedown
7. Bruce Lee patiently tries low kicking Fedor -> Fedor checks his kicks and counter kicks, his leg mass is much more than Lee's so Lee would just be hurting himself
8. Bruce Lee opens up with a sidekick -> Fedor catches or absorbs with his beer gut belly and renders Lee useless.
9. Bruce Lee tries a roundhouse jump -> Fedor moves and Bruce just wastes his energy
10. Bruce Lee moves in to gouge the eyes -> Fedor takes him down
11. Bruce Lee tries a spinning sidekick -> Fedor clinches, knees him to death or takes him down
12. Bruce Lee opens up with a right hand -> Fedor simply evades and counter right hand with more power
13. Bruce Lee fakes and lands a right on Fedor's chin -> Fedor is used to getting hit by 200+ lbers so he probably wouldn't be phased. If Fedor however did go down, Bruce wouldn't be able to do anything while he was down since Fedor can easily outgrapple him.
14. Bruce Lee somehow eye gouges Fedor -> Fedor has his other eye and an enraged Fedor is a scary Fedor. See the asian guy who didn't shake his hand.
I can think of endless scenarios and Bruce Lee's only offense would be lucky strikes after faking.
I do not see how Bruce can win other than in a movie.
Amazing the things your imagination can create, and how useless such assumptions are.
here's my scenario:
Bruce Lee: 1 inch punch to Fedor's nuts--he doesn't even see Lee's hand.
Fedor loses scrotum, loses match, bleeds out.
too bad for Fedor.
