Bruce Lee what if?
Just curious what everyone's opinion would be if Bruce Lee was in MMA today?
Do you think with all the different art forms of martial arts and grappling and such that he would make it. Would he be like a Fedor or in higher status. I have always wondered how he would of faired in the MMA game today.
Its a Pitty we will never know, but its makes for a good discussion.

Don't be sorry, I wasn't trying to hate... I just thought it was funny. You'll get some interesting responses between die-hard Bruce Lee fans and people who hate karate... lol, it can be pretty entertaining.

Witout additional training in more disciplines, I think he would greatly struggle against ground fighters (wrestlers/BJJ skills). I think his striking would be effective otherwise.
How much did he weigh, roughly? Anyone know? |

I know he did wrestle, and I think he did train Jiu-Jitsu.

Some interesting facts I found on Lee....from wiki
Lee's phenomenal fitness meant he was capable of performing many exceptional physical feats.[45][46][47][48] The following list includes some of the physical feats that are documented and supported by reliable sources.
Lee's striking speed from three feet with his hands down by his side reached five hundredths of a second.[49]
Lee could spring a 235 lb (107 kg) opponent 15 feet (4.6 metres) away with a 1 inch punch.[48]
Lee's combat movements were at times too fast to be captured on film at 24fps, so many scenes were shot in 32fps to put Lee in slow motion. Normally martial arts films are sped up.[50][51][52]
In a speed demonstration, Lee could snatch a dime off a person's open palm before they could close it, and leave a penny behind.[53]
Lee could perform push ups using only his thumbs[41][48]
Lee would hold an elevated v-sit position for 30 minutes or longer.[47]
Lee could throw grains of rice up into the air and then catch them in mid-flight using chopsticks.[41]
Lee performed one-hand push-ups using only the thumb and index finger[48][54][41][48]
Lee performed 50 reps of one-arm chin-ups.[55]
From a standing position, Lee could hold a 125 lb (57 kg) barbell straight out.[47][41]
Lee could break wooden boards 6 inches (15 cm) thick.[56]
Lee performed a side kick while training with James Coburn and broke a 150-lb (68 kg) punching bag[47][57]
Lee could cause a 300-lb (136 kg) bag to fly towards and thump the ceiling with a side kick.[48]
In a move that has been dubbed "Dragon Flag", Lee could perform leg lifts with only his shoulder blades resting on the edge of a bench and suspend his legs and torso perfectly horizontal midair.[58]
Lee could thrust his fingers through unopened steel cans of Coca-Cola, at a time before cans were made of the softer aluminum metal.[59]
Lee could use one finger to leave dramatic indentations on pine wood.[59]
