yes i do, and he would be very good as long as he ditched some of his original jkd principles, which i believe he would because he had an open mind about martial arts, he would also need to incorporate bjj i think he would have realised its effectiveness and trained more for the ground
if lee took his jkd skills in the octagon/ ring he would only have average success but if he adapted to modern day fighting there no doubt in my mind that he was quick, strong and had the right mentality to be a great champ
im sure he would have prefered to bring martial arts to the world through fighting rather then movies

If the MMA as it is today was around in his time, I am confident that Bruce Lee would be a part of it. This was what he was all about. He invented a new style (JKD) to find a better way. He would fight someone to prove that his style was the best. He even had to fight (literally) for the "right" to teach non-asian students. However, Lee would be an extremely light Lightweight Fighter. I believe that he was about 145lbs at his heaviest.

In an ideal world - but who is to say he would not have health problems, another injury, or simple decided to go off and do something else with his life? e.g. Steve Redgrave olympic gold medalist does no exercise what so ever now, does after dinner speaking for a living

Royce Gracie or even Ken Shamrock would've put him into retirement at UFC 1.

He'll get eaten alive even by the lightest and smallest fighter in UFC
