Lots of people are forgetting, that Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist who did not enter tournaments (except boxing championship in 1958 but when he was in high school and other Full Contact Matches such as 1962 Seattle, etc)because he did not believe in the rules or styles, it also limits one's fightingAnd plus, Bruce Lee's physical feats were beyond limits.... most still cannot achieved what he did....
Here is why Bruce Lee would be unbeatable, and this is video makes lots of sense, and reminded me why I think Bruce Lee was the greatest street fighter ever and there is a difference as Street Fighter and MMA fighter
Also please recognize that Bruce Lee was interested in "real fighting" not like sport combat, however, he would of probably loved MMA, but he was interest in real fights that's why he created a system JEET KUNE DO, the way of intercepting fist, a formless art, that is created for real fight situations, JKD is actually not an art but a philosophy.... a hybrid martial art....
I'm not saying MMA fighters are not actual fighters, but just saying that there are limits because it's a sport
So was he real fighter? Yes.
Lots of people forgot he actually fought in real life and challenged many, in fact, he became a legend because one of his fight in the beginning led him to realize that strength, speed, power are all important aspects.
The fact is he created the system, Jeet Kune Do, is actually for real fighting.
Lots of people are forgetting as well, that MMA is a sport. Most of the guys never fought in actual combat, the rules and styles stricts one's ability to full potential. Bruce Lee didn't believe in styles or rules in any competitions of combat like UFC.
I'm not saying MMA fighters can't fight in real fights, but people are forgetting that it is a sport, and it does have limits, but it demostrates actual fights.
If Bruce Lee fought BJ Penn, etc, he would win.
Trophies does not make you a great fighter and fame only makes gives you pride not the whole.
Bruce Lee physical feats also are beyond any fighters can do imaginable. ability....
"There are no limits......" - Bruce Lee
Remember, actual combat and a MMA are different things...

"For his size and weight, Bruce was one of the strongest people-pound for pound-I have ever met. I think he could have beaten a lot of people much heavier and much stronger than he was. He would have done extremely well in competition (...) He was that skillful."
- Mike Stone
Lee's ideology has also been effectively proven several times, in non-contact and full-contact kickboxing competition, by Joe Lewis. Okay, so Lee could hit fast and hard, the Gracies proved jujitsu grappling is a major key to victory in the octagon. How would Bruce Lee have handled that? Those who know anything about Bruce Lee's realistic approach to combat are aware he had over 33 grappling maneuvers in his repertoire. In other words, he was also skilled on the ground, perhaps due to the Gene LeBell incident.
"He (Lee) was very good friends with Wally Jay, Gene LeBell and Hayward Nishioka. It's a fact that Bruce learned a lot of grappling from these men."
- Larry Hartsell
Most mma guys or fans should know, in real combat or in real fights are much more dangerous than in cage or on the ring,
for example, poking someone eyes, elbowing somebody's eyes and kicking them down there or even biting them...
there are no rules in real fights, mma is a sport, some might say that biting or poking might be dirty, but what is dirty fighting?
if fight rules in mma changed that punch is illegal move, than that makes it dirty.
i think plus, bruce lee was extremely fast learner and a genius, if he came back from the dead at age 32, he would kept getting better and better and learning and adopting different styles
Many of Bruce Lee's statements are derived from his own studies of various schools of philosophy and the martial arts, and are sometimes paraphrases of previous expressions by others which he wrote down for his own instruction into his own words.
He was no doubt a great martial artist and philosopher and much more.....
"To generate great power you must first totally relax and gather your strength, and then concentrate your mind and all your strength on hitting your target."
