Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li - Are they in their primes, or as they are now? It's close either way, but now I think Jet would win because he's nine years younger and has many less chronic injuries. In their primes, Jackie was far fitter and knew more about practical fighting - I think he'd eventually beat Jet down.

Tony Jaa vs. Bruce Lee - Bruce was a master fighter. Tony's great too, but his focus has always been on performance. Bruce breaks Tony's knee, jabs his eyes, kicks his groin, or somesuch almost immediately.

Chuck Norris vs. Jeff Speakman - Age question again, as Jeff is eighteen years younger. In their primes I I really have no idea, so I'll say Chuck by way of spinning hook kick knockout for the sake of Chuck Norris awesomeness.

Jason Statham vs. Donnie Yen - Donnie is a master martial artist. I'm sure Jason is a tough enough fighter, but he's nothing compared to Donnie. Jason gets brutally beaten down or submitted.

Dwayne Johnson vs. Dolph Lundgren - Dwayne has always been a performer, albeit a physically tough one. Dolph is a real life all-around badass. Dolph knocks him out.

Steven Seagal vs. Michael Jai White - I recognize Steven's aikido skill, and I'm sure he'd be fine against an average thug, but Michael could just break him with kicks without Steven being able to get close to him, even an in-shape, lean Steven.

Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Wesley Snipes - Jean-Claude nails Wesley with too many of his fast, sharp kicks.

Scott Adkins vs. Sonny Chiba - With Sonny in his prime, realistically it'd be a deadly fight that could go either way. For Hollywood, I'd root for Scott to narrowly avoid Sonny's killer moves and knock him out with some spectacular aerial kicks (as you can see, I'm a fan of kicks ;-).

Quarter-finals:

Jackie Chan vs. Bruce Lee - Bruce does the same thing to Jackie that he did to Tony.

Chuck Norris vs. Donnie Yen - Donnie shows Chuck that one decent spinning kick is merely the beginning of true badassery. Chuck gets the crap beaten out of him.

Dolph Lundgren vs. Michael Jai White - Dolph is tough, but he finally meets his match. Michael takes some heavy hits, but he ultimately knocks Dolph out.

Jean-Claude Van Damme vs. Scott Adkins - Scott can do everything Jean-Claude has ever been able to far more, plus he has grappling skills. They exchange spectacular strikes for a while before Scott takes Jean-Claude down and quickly finishes him on the ground.

Semi-finals:

Bruce Lee vs. Donnie Yen - Donnie may be able to pull off a desperate takedown, but he lets Bruce win out of respect for the Master after an exchange of striking skills.

Michael Jai White vs. Scott Adkins - One of the most spectacular battles of all time. Realistically I think Michael would win, but not easily.

Final:
Bruce Lee vs. Michael Jai White - Epically close match. It would be explosive and brief, like a duel between Samurai, or cowboys. It would begin, like a fencing match, with a lunge, using long-range kicks. This would be Michael's moment. His longer reach and heavier weight (=crushing striking power) may fell Bruce in an instant, perhaps followed up with a few upper-body finishing strikes. If not, Bruce would be in range and in control, and in a flurry of blood and whipping limbs Michael would be shredded. Whoever was left standing would be breathing hard.
