If Kimbo is taking MMA seriously.. alot of heavyweights should be running scared.
Anywho.. MMA .. Bruce lee.. I think Bruce would do well.. why? Because the man trained for things that worked.. if he decided to step into an MMA ring he would have done so after learning BJJ and other martial arts.. the guy was a martial arts sponge.

Running scared? The guy has yet to have a real MMA fight, and has been training for a few months. Maybe MMA is a joke if all it takes to be a world class heavyweight is some raw talent and a few months training.
Unless the guy has some other background (wrestling, boxing, BJJ, etc) beyond street brawling that I'm not aware of, I just don't see him having enough time to get up the learning curve to be a real threat inside of 3 years. I think Brock Lesnar has a more realistic shot at being a real fighter than Kimbo, given an actual combat background.
Anyway, as for Bruce, I agree with most that he'd be a stud. Not that his actual style would have worked for beans, but he was smart, freakishly athletic, liked to fight and trained like a madman - pretty much a perfect recipe.
