well if we're being completely honest, Cung Le would beat up all the dudes on this list. Kind of ruins it throwing a UFC fighter in the midst of everything. But Oh well no one complained before.

Yeah you have to think Cung Le is a ringer being he's a real professional MMA fighter. There are a lot of MMA fighters who have been in films in starring and supporting rolls who would run through this entire group.

Jet Li was a sport martial artist, all his achievements are in forms, and he's half the size of Cung. If it was a weapons fight, that would be different.

Slightly off-topic but I urge you lot to watch Flash Point. The last fight scene is one of the best in Martial arts history. Let's just say if you like the MMA ground game, you will love it and if you hate it...You'll still think it is awesome.

If you don't want to watch the whole film and just want to see the final scene here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buITXcldEcY

Er....Donnie Yen is talented at fighting :D

Wiki says Donnie Yen is a 6th degree blackbelt in TKD and a purple belt in BJJ. It that's true then I choose him via grappling

JCVD has actual combat experience even if it's just as an amateur. 18-1 as an amateur kickboxer with 18 KOs is pretty noteworthy.

That is a pretty nice record for Van Damme. I wonder if the loss is a KO?

I looked all over the internet about a year ago for any of his fights and I couldn't find any. You gotta think someone has them on VHS somewhere.
