But, as I said before...Bruce Lee died very young. If he had lived a few more years and incorporated a grappling style and Brazil Jiu Jitsu into his repertoire he could have kicked some serious ass in today's MMA.
As someone else already said...trying to say that Bruce Lee isn't a great fighter because of the style he used is like saying that Einstein was stupid because he didn't know HTML.
People work within their timeframe of history.
Put them all on the same timeframe and yes...I'd bet that with Bruce Lee's speed, physical ability and obvious drive to be the best that he would have mastered Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and made his mark in the UFC if he were 25 years old in 2013.

The man had schools before making movies when he was no one. His own style takes from all forms of fighting, fencing boxing, wrestling. In alot of ways he was doing this before they gave it a name. Also fighting for entertainment is different than fighting for real life. It has to be big for the camera. I dont think no one person is the best , like the best guitar player its very subjective.
