He would find the whole MMA era very intresting. He would evolve his style I assure you in his prime to do quite well in the MMA world.
Would his style of JeetKwonDo be what it is today?? No... It would be an evolved form of martial art.
Thats what made Bruce great. His ablility to evolve.
Anyone who say otherwise doesnt know the legacy of Bruce Lee and what he stood for.

This is what I was waiting for, and what I was thinking. People tend to compare the style he developed against styles today. They forget that he created that style... that he continued to change that style every day to match the adversaries and competing styles against him. He discovered and learned his weaknesses and then figured out how to remove them.
If he had a chance to fight today, I think he'd probably get beat from time to time, but he'd come back ready with a whole new bag of tricks.
