With what is happening in modern MMA. I like to share forgotten stories and one of them involves a story with Karo Parisyan talking to Randy Couture. In the interview, Karo mentioned that they did a movie with Jet Li, I believe Cradle 2 the Grave. Karo was an extra but Randy was in a scene with Jet Li.
They started talking about Jet Li and at first, it was about Jet Li's skills and Randy was telling him how he had freakishly fast kicks and arm movements. They mentioned he was Jet Li was super nice guy, no attitude, very affable and he had crazy fast speed.
This was pre-TUF when UFC was still in its infancy and even though they were not sold on Kung Fu/Wushu effectiveness, they were deeply impressed by Jet Lis speed and quickness he displayed and that when they were talking about martial arts and exchanging techniques and ideas, Randy mentioned that there was something special about Jet Li and that if nothing else, he was in an excellent shape and does deserve the respect he gets even if he was not combat sports fighter.
