25 Greatest "Martial Arts" Wrestlers Ever

6. Ultimo Dragón

Style: Jeet Kune Do If you're wondering if I'm ever going to write a list and not somehow work in my favorite WCW cruiserweight, the answer is a resounding "no". I could rank the top ten members of the Heenan Family and I'd find a Thunder match where the Brain was really complimentary of Dragón on commentary to sneak him in at #10. But this time it's appropriate, I swear! šltimo Dragón was was supposed to be the final student of Bruce Lee, and he had the lightning-fast kicks to prove it. I personally thought he should have taken the gimmick a little bit further. Sure, he had mastered a seamless combination of lucha libre, puroresu and (supposedly) jeet kune do, but where were the nunchucks? If he'd brought sticks and twine to the ring instead of Sonny Onoo, he probably could have ended Goldberg's streak.
