There were many strange takes on the soundbite as many were quick to remind Mickey Gall that they would also beat up a dead person. The UFC fighter was obviously not talking about fighting a cadaver but the point still stood.

MMA became a sport through the debates about which martial art was the best for fighting. The UFC put many different martial artists against each other early on with Brazilian jiu-jitsu famously coming out on top when no one had an answer for the ground game.

Bruce Lee is a legend and the comments were not appreciated by the masses as they were seen as disrespectful by many. Mickey Gall has a promising career in the UFC and he became well known for taking on former WWE star CM Punk in their respective UFC debuts.
