Who would win in a fight: Bruce Lee or heavyweight UFC fighter?
Had this debate with my cousin last night. If Bruce Lee was still alive and he entered the octogon to fight a UFC fighter who would win? UFC fighters are all about grappling and choking out. Bruce Lee was a striker and rarely ever went to the ground. I think wrestlers and grapplers will always win the fight when up against kickers and hitters.

UFC heavyweight. Bruce Lee is an awesome fighter, I just don't think he has the reach and brute power to take out a really big guy that's as well trained as they are. Once the UFC guy got a hold of Lee it would all be over.

Lee was good at fighting in close quarters, and he had one hell of a powerful punch, plus his speed was untouchable.
I think if a grappler came in to try and grab Lee...he could probably land a few punches quickly, but not sure how much it would set the UFC guy back. Its like a boxer fighting a wrestler. Both have extraordinary skills, but it would come down to experience and speed of each one, in order for a certain type of fighter to win.

And I think Bruce in his prime, with his speed and strikeing power may lay out a UFC guy before said UFC guy got his hands on him but.... if someone got him to the ground then UFC FTW.
