Vor 3000 Menschen bezeichnete er Bruce Lee als Schauspieler; was danach geschah hat er nie vergessen

Long Beach Arena, California, 1970. 3,000 spectators. A 22-year-old European champion won the heavyweight final with three knockouts. Then he took the microphone and pointed to the third row. "Bruce Lee, you're here. Come down. Show 3,000 people what Kung Fu is really about." The man in the third row stood up. Dark jacket. Street shoes. No gi. No belt. He walked barefoot to the center of the mat. Three minutes. A 145-pound man against a 240-pound champion. For two and a half minutes, Bruce didn't throw a single punch. He made the European champion look like he was fighting underwater. Then he threw exactly one. Drawn. Not with force. With geometry. The European champion knelt. Bruce reached out his hand, pulled him up, and whispered something in his ear that only the two of them could hear. Then he stepped barefoot off the mat and drove home alone. Years later, the European champion said: "He didn't humiliate me. He raised me." His name was Dolph Lundgren.
