“That’s a Tough Dude”- MMA Icon Turned Hollywood Star Michael Jai White Once Gave a Bold Prediction About Jackie Chan vs Bruce Lee Fight

Michael Jai White and his DjVlad interviews have always garnered fans’ attention. This time was no different. In a resurfaced clip from one of his older interviews, White stunned fans with a rather daring prediction. And that, too – about a fictional fight between Jackie Chan and martial arts legend Bruce Lee.

Although Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan never faced off, the fantasy of a fight between them has always been around. In real life, however, both MMA artists shared a close bond. They even worked together for The Golden Harvest studio for a brief tenure. What’s more – Chan was also a stuntman for Lee’s iconic action flicks, Fist of Fury and Enter the Dragon. And now, we have this bold prophecy on a much-debated topic among MMA and fight fans all over the world.

MMA icon Michael Jai White has called it!

The clip kicks off with Vlad asking the ‘Never Back Down’ actor to give his take on an “actual fight” between Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. Naturally, White was perplexed at the question but retorted back with a cool yet bold proclamation, “I think Jackie Chan would win.“

The unconventional reply from the MMA icon took Vlad aback. To confirm his disbelief, he further questions the idea, saying, “I mean Jackie Chan is not a professional fighter, but he is a [martial artist]” White argued that if he was a “betting man,” he’d place his bets on Jackie beating Lee, quoting, “Jackie Chan was bigger…“

The podcaster, seeing the logic behind White’s call, asked the Hollywood actor if he and Jackie Chan had ever met before. White confirmed that they indeed met, but “briefly.”

In a surprising twist, the discussion moved to the Rush Hour star’s physical stature. Vlad quizzed White to guess Jackie Chan’s height. The actor retorted back, answering, “He’s not a small guy. I would say Jackie Chan is about 5’8. 5’8 – 5’9. And he’s durable – that’s a tough dude.”
