The last of a dying breed of toughmen.

Guys like Lee are something special. Fighting just encompasses every aspect of their lives.

The guy is five plus degree BB in multiple discipline, a beast of a striker, tough as hell, all he knew was to eat, sleep, train and fight.

Reminds me of Ralph Hollett down my way, Canadian kickboxing and boxing champion with the lethal history of being a bouncer to boot LOL

The stories of Ralph bouncing days at the bars down here are the best. Dan Quinn at Juanita’s back in 1987 level.

That’s FIVE motherfuckers or more being cleaned out, slept cold, and swept outta there.

Lee was a genuine pioneer in the UK.

He was fighting in K1/Rings back in the late 90s

Earlier with Lee aswell.

Especially with the oldschool Full Contact Karate/Kickboxing. Those oldschool 70s/80s/90s guys were way more turn based.

Like a Final Fantasy game almost…

I threw my combo now you go, back and forth tit for tat.  
They really just drew a line in the sand, and said let’s go back and forth until one of us falls.

It was a totally different way of combat, both physically and mentally.
