Give us some examples of the Seahawks linemen that would lose to Bruce Lee.

I'm not disputing the fact that Bruce Lee would probably lose to someone the size of an NFL lineman... I'm just saying that the statement "size beats technique pretty much every time" is false.
It is a fact that the larger the person is the more difficult they are to beat in a fight. That gap can be closed with skill. But sometimes the size difference is too great for the skill level, and other times the skill level is too high and the size isn't enough.
But some of the examples people are using are some of the best, and most skilled MMA fighters the world has seen against some big guys that have almost ZERO skill and are some of the most unathletic people on the planet. And it still takes a hell of a lot for the skilled MMA fighters to beat guys that big. It's not like they just handle them easily. It involves a lot of staying away from them and finding an opening to try to submit them. And it often times took a long time for them to win.
In a big ring, they have space to move around and use their quickness against the huge guy.
In a real-life situation in more close-quarters, they'd be at a huge disadvantage.

It's not easy to shatter someone's knee with a kick.

Bruce Lee was
1.) Trained in striking
2.) Freakishly strong
Your not "shrugging off" a punch or kick.

Connor McGregor vs. Hafthor Bjnorrson. That’s a matchup.

I think Conor puts him down.

How much could he bench?

Okay, let's assume Bruce Lee is alive.
Nope- he's still f**ked, because he's a 78 y/o fighting an NFL lineman.

I am just glad we have moved past Bruce Lee vs Mike Tyson.

They are still massive athletic men used to physical confrontations with other massive athletic men, against a small guy that has little to no actual hand to hand combat experience.

Are you Bruce Lee? Size only beats technique when the fighters are close in technique.
Lee would do whatever the frick he wanted to an untrained fighter

Your belief that Bruce Lee is this extraordinary fighter is comical.
