discuss. 5 x 5 minute rounds
It would go one round, less than a minute. He wouldn't make the UFC in the 135 lb. division. Training has evolved greatly in the last 10 years. Bruce died about 40 years ago.
answers:
a) Silva, seeing as how Lee is inanimate
b) Silva, seeing as how Lee would be 72 now if he was animate
c) Silva, seeing as how Lee once said in his book that a guy who studied boxing and wrestling would beat a traditional martial artist
d) Silva, based on taking Lee to the ground and pound
e) Lee based on his style of no style, intimidation, and a knockout strike
given the size disparity, this fight does not go past 1 round no matter what
Absolutely no question in my mind that if Bruce Lee stepped into the octagon with Silva, Silva would submit him in the early rounds.
It's been shown repeatedly, kung fu, karate, any of the Eastern disciplines on their own cannot stand against bjj or wrestling. Once the fight goes to the ground (which is where Silva would take it immediately) then it's all over.
Now if Bruce Lee actually put in a year or two of specific MMA training, well then there would be an interesting fight: the MMA goat vs. allegedly the Eastern Martial Arts GOAT....

Your first two answers are just d!ck LRC drivel.
I'm genuinely curious if you think Lee could actually knockout Silva, though. I say no way.
Silva is the only man in history that could last 30 seconds against Lee. The maximum this fight would last is 90 seconds. Bruce Lee is just too fast.
It would be fun to watch those 1st 90 seconds, Lee would probably knock him out way before that. If Lee had 1 hand tied behand his back, the fight might last 2 minutes until Lee knock him out.
Would last less than a minute unless Lee sprinted around the ring trying to avoid Silva.
It would last about as long as this:

Ok, what about zombie Bruce Lee vs. Silva?

How old are you? 14 or 15?
You obviously dont have the slightest clue who Bruce Lee even is. If you were alive during the Bruce Lee era, you wouldnt be so incredibly ignorant and stupid about his talent.

This. Traditional eastern martial arts are cool to watch and try to emulate, but in a real fight, kick boxing and wrestling are much more relevant. Even at equal weight, the fight would not last very long with Silva winning. It would be highly entertaining while it lasted though. Lee was a pretty unique and incredible guy. If he had some preparation for the fight (a year or something) and Silva was of roughly equal weight, I'd probably give it to Lee.
Anderson Silva would take him out under every possible scenario, including getting blindsided or sucker-kicked during the handshake. Silva is light-years ahead of Bruce Lee in real-life fighting ability. You did see Silva drop his hands, lean in, expose his face, and dodge a few Forrest griffin shots, a la Muhammed ALi, before knocking Griffin out with a SINGLE JAB, didn't you? Forrest has shown he had a head of stone in some other classic fights. Anderson Silva is superior to any fighter on earth, ever.
Wow, i never knew there were this much ufc fans in letsrun! amazing, if only we had a sub board like reddit where us ufc fanatics could talk and discuss upcoming cards

ask a drivel ? get a drivel answer
this what I think:
1. for the sake of argument I'll say Silva fights at 167 lbs (obviously as his weight goes up so does his advantage) vs. Lee at 130 lbs. and I'll assume that the fight is under UFC rules and Lee has 6 months to prepare
2. I want to say Silva wins but it is closer than I might think because Lee's hand speed is unrivaled, think Pacquiao's hand speed
3. Could Lee knock out Silva? Sure And Silva could KO Lee
4. at the end of the day, there is a reason for weight classes and Silva has 37 lbs on Lee and probably a significant reach advantage, I think Silva takes Lee to the ground so I give it to Silva
5. the real question is how much damage would Lee do to Silva as Silva comes in, it only takes 1 punch or kick and if Lee tagged him it is over as well
so, I'd say Silva wins that fight 5 out of 7 times
there is a reason they actually do the fight in the cage not on paper, just ask Silva about Takese
honestly, I don't think this fight happens because Lee was not into the competition and would have only fought in an event with no rules. Lee would definitely admire Silva because mixed martial arts (no one style except effective pragmatic method) is exactly where Lee wanted martial arts to go
While Bruce Lee began studying the traditional asian martial arts, wing chun and chinese gung fu under the legendary Yip Man or Ip Man (the movie was great!), he did develop a more practical form of fighting known as Jeet Kune Do. I am big Bruce Lee fan but his legendary reputation perhaps exceeds his actual fighting prowess. He was a hothead and was known to get into a number of street fights, more than once coming out on the short end. He was a very slight fellow. Against Silva, I would give him little chance. Silva would indeed look to take him to the ground very early. The only chance Bruce might have is to fein a side kick or back fist, for example, then connect with a spinning back turnaround kick and knock Silva out. I see very few other scenarios where Bruce would prevail. I would give more of a chance to Don the Dragon Wilson or Bennie Urquides but again, they were kickboxers with no grappling or groundfighting skills.

Glad to see my phelps vs craig thread inspired you, kid.
Silva has one of the best jaws in MMA. Bruce Lee reportedly weighed around 135, which meant he would fight at 125. This fight would be a joke. Heck, I would bet on Ronda Rousey or Cyborg against Bruce Lee.
What Jeet Knue Do fighters have done anything in MMA? How much did Lee focus on grappling, opposed to movie fight scenes?
Hulk Hogan or Junior Dos Santos?
Steven Segal or Alistair Overeem?
Matt Damon or Mike Tyson?
Same logic.
Bruce Lee was an excellent grappler. That aspect didn't sell well in movies so they didn't show the homoerotic male on male crotch contact you MMA-tards so desperately crave. He had a greater punch strength than Muhammed Ali. Overall he was much faster than Silva too.

Like I said - I would give Bruce little chance of prevailing today. Most fighting goes to the ground. His only chance is to connect on surprise kick or maybe a punch. Please don't lump Seagal with Matt Damon, Hulk Hogan and Jean Claude Van Damme - He maybe was creep - but he was a very legitimate martial artist. In stand-up only fight , he would have good chance with Silva - he was a helluva martial artist.

If he weighs 135 why would he fight at 125?

I'm 43.
And I take it you're not since your response lacks any merit whatsoever and hinges entirely on fallacy.
