I'm surprised Wing Chun isn't used in UFC ... would make things interesting also
Bruce was pretty amazing at a bunch of different styles. He practiced western boxing, and was so good at it, that he entered an amateur boxing tournament in the 50's, and won 4 bouts by KO, including one against 3-time amateur champ, Gary Elms.

Bruce felt that Wing Chun, along with many other Eastern arts, didn't focus enough on conditioning the body. That's why he started looking at western combat techniques too.
