hi, i was watching ufc 2 the other night, and it was mentioned that two of the preliminary bouts (not shown unfortunately) were
david levicki (wing chun) vs johnny rhodes (karate)
scott baker(wing chun) vs jason delucia (5 animal gung fu)

both wing chun guys lost, but has anyone seen these fights??

if so, what were they like?? any recognisable wing chun strategy in evidence.....

hi bougeac,

I once saw a NHB competition (don't remember the name, sorry!) with a "wing chun fighter" versus a mixed martial artist. When the bell rang, the wing chun guy waited for the MMA guy to close with him, then he tried to do a tan da with a kick a la wooden dummy form (with no prior contact.... gutsy...). After seeing that, I ENJOYED watching the snot get beaten out of him!

"any recognisable wing chun strategy in evidence....."

uh...nope. When people never spar or practice realistically, that's what usually happens.
