This isn't to say he wouldn't adapt. He had an unquenchable urge to learn fighting techniques and would have loved the MMA era.

Shamrock and Royce are both at least 3 wieght classes above Bruce lees I think for his wieght he would be both fast and strong. So i dont think he would get overpowered by grapplers. I did read his book and it did include some ground game. He would need some work on it but i think he would be willing to learn.
