Would he be able to be competitive with the top contenders in his weight class?

To be honest any top 50 guy these days would steamroll him, skills have moved on long way since his heyday.

The grappling alone would be a huge obstacle.

He would go 0-2 and get let go.

K but if he were alive today and in his prime age, and wanted to compete in the UFC, he would have trained for it, and therefore have the skill set, correct?

Probably depends on what weight class he'd be in. Even still, most people you think would fair well in the sport usually end up getting dominated.

It's like asking how any athlete from fifty years ago would compare to their modern equivalent. They would get completely demolished.

Bruce Lee knew what an armbar was. But he wouldn't be allowed to escape the way he did in the movies (biting).

Based on that he is dead not very well.

Based on how old he would be if he was alive not well.

Based on if he was alive and in his prime, I dont know (gets slimed) as I dont know (slimed again) how his grappling skills were.

He'd get creamed by every man

Bruce Lee was a showman, not a legit fighter

even in his prime, any top level UFC fighter his Weight or above would decimate him inside 1 round

What you just described is someone who is not Bruce Lee. I mean, yes, if you just say "Bruce Lee but he has all the skills of the best fighter ever, would he be the best fighter ever?" then yes, he'd be the best fighter ever. But that wasn't who Bruce Lee was, so what's the point of the speculation?

If Bruce Lee wanted to do UFC, he would have trained seriously to do it. But he was more martial artist than fighter.

But if he did?

Goes 2-2 or 1-3 and retires back to movies. Gets in a lot of trouble with bigger grapplers and wrestlers.

He's quick so...probably well enough until he runs into like...Khabib or Cejudo (depending on what weight he is) AKA a super wrestler.

Holly Holm would probably dismantle him in one punch
He was notorious for avoiding fights and beating up extras on sets if they didn't work well enough for him

UFC rules would be foreign to him. Unfair advantage.

Correct, but we wouldn't know what his skill set would be now a days. Also without him. We don't know if mma happens. He sparked the interest in martial arts in the public eye. I mean maybe Jackie Chan would of done that but can't be sure. With his skill set back then hell no. With a new skill set. Unpredictable. No clue what route he would go or what would interest him.

Dude you might as well say "I wonder how Ronda Rousey would fair if she had the skill of Tyson in his prime"
We either take him as he's known or else just assume he's superman and make a new person
