I don't think he weighed enough to qualify for any of the existing weight divisions

bruce was a man who was doing mma before people in the states even knew about things like combining the best moves of different arts and throwing out the moves that didnt work in real combat.he always said something like (no way is the way)referring to the guys back then who only followed the style that they where taught and not willing to be open minded and test the waters with moves from other martial arts.bruce was ahead of his time imo,great mind on the man.i think if lee was born 20 years ago and had the access to all the modern training facilities and knowledge he would have been a really good mma fighter imo.lee had the heart and drive that champions are made of imo,i have nothing but respect for the man. some of the older mma fighters of today started training when they where little kids cause of bruce lees movies like enter the dragon which motivated them to learn martial arts.

In all honesty, esp. with the ruleset the athletic commission's impose, Lee would get annihilated, but like someone already said, he's about 30lbs. shy of the smallest weight class, so..

He would brutally dominate in all weight classes.  Fedor would be KO'd with a flurry of punches/kicks before even hitting the ground.  That's a fact.

They go pretty light, there are even children's divisions, but as far as the bigger orgs., WEC just added the flyweight division (125lbs), and of course Japan has Shooto which also focuses on the lighter weight classes as well. 
Predictions
 40/61
