Bruce Lee was ahead of his time, (for stand up) but his grappling was way behind. Lee's base style was Wing Chung,which doesn't place emphasis on grappling. He could be champion if he practiced in grappling. He know "Judo" Gene Lebell. During this time and until recently people didnt have much respect for grappling.

He would be untouchable, unbeatable.
Remember the enter the dragon fight with Samo Hung
ultimate fighter like right there
Samo got whooped
at 66 he would be a grandmaster and would have no problem
with quick and easy tap outs.
Jeet kun Do is mixed martial arts
he is the master and father of Mixed Martial arts
He would kick a$$ period. Regardless of steriods, the time.
He was a true fighter trained in the old world. He trained 3 to 6 hours a day FIGHTING.
he was a warrior not a a mat wrestler like UFC. even those UFC fools would get broke off buy some of the best Specialized martial artist.

Bruce Lee practices a mostly unrestricted fighting style. That's why he beats up just about anyone who's been practicing a certain form or another of martial arts all their lives. If he were allowed to fight how he wanted in these competitions, I have little doubt a guy who can do near vertical V holds on his two fingertips would have much trouble.
As far as age, Jackie Chan is well over the hill too, but he's still kicking strong.

Bruce Lee studied the art of fighting as a lifestyle.He also tried out every device and diet that was availible at the time.I have no doubt that he would have done well in todays octagon(except of course for the aging factor).

Bruce Lee was highly trained and truly one of the toughest men to ever walk the planet... He would have no problem with anything the UFC could throw at him.

In todays world of steroids an xyience lol, i dont think he would have much success, although not that there is a lightweight division, he could possibly kick some ***. but i think the mixed martial arts is a whole nother style then bruce lee ever faced.

If bruce Lee was so awesome then howcome he was so intimidated by a Thai Muay Thai fighter?

Not sure if he would. It's very different from standing up and fighting. If he was doing just stand up fighting, I bet he would do very well, but I'm not sure if he had any training on the ground. That seems to be where most of these fights end.

First answer said it, Age Age Age.. He'd be too old to compete with the younger guys. If he were frozen at his peak, then he'd be a contender.

I don't think he'd give a fighter even a chance to grab a hold of him. He'd hop all over those dudes. But being 66.....I don't know.
At least he'd still kick Shamrock's ***_!
