he didn't have enough experience warding off wrestlers.. he has been known to say he would resort to biting if someone wrestled him to the ground..

I'm not so sure man, don't get me wrong Bruce Lee was amazing and everything. But we've come a long way from the training methods of Bruce Lee's day. Plus Bruce's fighting style was built for the street and not a controlled environment.
But personally think he would've done just fine in his own weight division.

Bruce Lee wasn't even the best on any given day. He did not have a true MA foundation.
Even JKD students say it, As do some practitioners with real foundation and many years of training.

bruce lee is a legend! and somewhat of pioneer for the MMA that we see today (not quite, but he introduced a similar idea which was not relying on a set art, but an integration of techniques that worked for the individual)...now to answer your question, probably not, he simply didn't overall level of knowledge in putting together the elements of today's MMA (striking, ground fighting, takedowns,and submissions)...especially with the mainstream introduction of brazilian jujitsu and other effective grappling styles...BUT what i do believe is that, putting the "bruce lee in his prime" in today's era, being as open minded and brilliant as he is, with enough training and knowledge about today's MMA, he would no doubt adapt and EVENTUALLY be a formidable foe in his weight class! not to mention his punches and kicks of lightning would be INSANE! LOL
thats my opinion for you =)

No.
He'd be too light to even make the lightweight class (155 lbs), he was about 135 lbs.
He'd be perfect for WEC though, as they have a lighter class.

He would not compete in tournaments, so we shall never know. He preferred the image of being a great martial artist to really being one. He only appeared in movies and insisted that the script always allow him to win.

He'd be about 68 years old today had he lived. Grandpa Lee. Or, better still, an ancient gifted spiritualist.

I don't know, the lighter weight categories are pretty tough now.
