But to Bruce Lee fans, to even point out the lack of any prominent accomplishments in actual fighting competitions is tantamount to heresy.

Bruce Lee definitely had screen presence and charisma. But he was a skilled entertainer.

MMA has been around for 20 years now. Has there been a prominent MMA competitor whose primary discipline was Chinese kung fu? We've seen wrestlers, karate masters, muay thai and judo practitioners do well. But kung fu is nowhere to be seen.

You'd think that the Shaolin temple master would enter the UFC and use his "touch of death" to wipe everybody out. Nope.
