Bruce Lee was one that was big into evolving and adapting into situations.
One of the biggest rips on him from the traditionalists was that he was not traditional and was one who went agaisnt the grain of art and history to take things to a more Practical level.
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.
He was a true student of Martial Art.

IMO opinion this is the most accurate post on the subject, with one exception. Mr. Lee was a true student of Martial Systems, not Martial Arts. Martial Systems was a phrase coined by famed MA write Don Draeger to describe systems of fighting styles.
Martial Arts are disciplines of study that involve mastery of the mind, body and spirit. Fighting is the practice, mastery of self, is the art. Martial Systems refer to combative, practical styles that are proven effective in sport (MMA) and combat.
