Overall: 94Striking: 93Ground: 93Submissions: 89 We know, Bruce Lee is just a novelty character, included in the game to make up for the lack of Brock Lesnar. Though we're not sure how many people will see Bruce Lee's inclusion advertised and feel compelled to buy a copy, its a nice incentive for those that have taken the time and money to preorder a copy. That being said, the statistics for Bruce Lee look somewhat ridiculous. While his striking rating is fair its the others we have an issue with. When did Bruce Lee ever show us his greco-roman wrestling skills? Apparently he was talented enough to receive a higher ground rating than former state championship wrestler Ryan Bader (92). Bruce Lee also must have been pretty submission savvy to earn the same submission rating as former champion Frankie Edgar. In EA Sports UFC, Bruce Lee seems like one of those really over-powered guys in video games that are near impossible to beat and the made-up submission and ground skills make some of the other fighter ratings seem like a complete joke. You could make a fair case that he should be given a higher striking rating but make him less well-rounded, but ranking him as a better MMA fighter to those who fight in the Octagon for their profession is somewhat insulting. Suggested Overall Rating: 82
