Top 10: Part 3

Tonight the UFC Ultimate 100 takes a break, but I am not! Tonight I will reveal two more fights that made the top 3!


3. Tony Jaa vs. Bruce Lee

When I started this countdown, I am sure that you knew Bruce Lee would be here sooner or later. It was only a matter of when and against who. Bruce Lee is the founding father of Jeet Kune Do, the "style of no styles." In many ways, Jeet Kune Do concepts are nearly identical to those of mixed martial artists today. Bruce Lee claimed that a fighter should do whatever is necessary to defend himself. JKD advocates the combination of different styles, to create an entity that is unbounded and free. Hell, Bruce Lee essentially IS the father of MMA.

Tony Jaa is arguably one of the best action stars of this generation. If you have seen his movies (Ong-Bak, the Protector), he is on a level like no other action star. He was even touted as the next Bruce Lee (in terms of action movie stardom). It remains to be seen whether Hollywood will give him a chance, but he is arguably the next great action star.

Now, how would these two fare against each OTHER? It's JKD vs. Muay Thai. Bruce Lee's fitness does not touch Jaa's, and his philosophy of martial arts is unparalleled. Lee would take this fight easily, by finding Jaa's weaknesses, and exploiting them, breaking him down methodically until Jaa can fight no more. Sure, this would end up being one sided, but I am sure it would be entertaining as hell to watch.

2. Alex Trebek vs. Sean Connery

Wait, what? What beef do these two have with each other?

Got it? After watching the most recent Celebrity Jeopardy sketch on SNL a while ago, I realized these two characters absolutely HATED each other. How many times while watching these sketches did you think Trebek was just going to go apeshit on Connery? He never had the outlet! Connery always got the best of Trebek, and I know Trebek would want revenge. Read on...

This would probably be one of the most hyped fights ever (well, maybe not more than #1). Picture the weigh-in: Trebek comes out, weighs in, followed by Connery whose laugh can be heard from the back. Trebek cannot hold his frustrations and tries attacking Connery. Connery fires jeers back at Trebek as security escorts him out.

Fight day. Both men are in the cage, and meet in the centre to receive instructions, while Connery points out Trebek's mother at ringside. The fight would pretty much be Trebek wildly swinging at Connery while he laughs and cracks mother jokes. Connery laughs it up until Trebek lands a few shots and the brawl is on. Both men would slug it out for 3 rounds until it goes to a decision. This one would end in a DRAW, folks. Come on, there is no true winner here, as Trebek would at least bask in the relief that he defended his mother's honor and beat the holy hell out of Connery...until his mother enters the ring and reveals that she slept with Connery.



So what rivalry would top this? Stay tuned until tomorrow, along with my predictions for UFC 100!!!
