Bruce Lee would win hands down. Anyone who says otherwise has probably never seen the documentary about his life, or is too young to even know who he is.

Bruce would go WRECKINGTON on Silva. But I have mad respect for Silva, because if you look at the way he fights it's very similar to how Bruce Lee fought and how he taught.
Silva is famous for his dodging and weaving, dodging punches at a ridiculous pace in order to deliver counters. Yeah this is a basic concept, but the way he executes is ridiculous. Just look at all the gifs. That style of fighting, to move like water around your opponents attacks in order to deliver an efficient blow, was emphasized and taught more broadly in JKD, the style Bruce founded. It looks a bit like boxing (a reputable sport/martial art in itself) when Silva fights like that, but Bruce was able to advance that beyond a point that Silva can't reach. He actually fought Chuck Norris on the set of "Way of the Dragon," a sparring session really, and Chuck couldn't even touch him. And Walker Texas Ranger aside, Chuck Norris is legit. Bruce trained his physique to the point of nearly complete functionality and efficiency... it's really hard to imagine anyone who's done just as much as he's done.

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

Silva's has trained Brazilian jiu jitsu since he was a kid. Bruce is an amazing striker but he'd have very few answers to today's high level of jiu jitsu.
Not saying he couldn't win, but it wouldn't be a cakewalk . Martial arts and it's understanding has increased since Bruce.

wing chun sparring has rules too...
kung fu itself was created as a way for monks to stay in shape.... it was never a viable fighting form
which is why bruce created jeet kun do
and jeet kun do isn't even a well balanced form....
bruce was an actor

I'm not talking about Wing Chun because Bruce had moved past that.
Wing Chun as a "fighting form" is obviously dated but you can see elements of it in Krav Maga. It's not without it's merits.
But even Wing Chun has eye/throat attacks built into it. All of those are on the centerline.
My point still stands. Don't assume that because guys train for a sport that they'll be equipped to win at all costs outside of it.
Because sport fighting isn't "real" fighting ultimately.
