Incredible footage restored by an avid Bruce Lee fan claims to show the legendary martial artist's only competitive fight in history. The clip - published for the first time in 2017 - shows Lee dressed in black combat attire stood opposite his rival as they prepare to battle in front of a huge crowd.

Spectators eagerly look on armed with cameras

"This is the only recording of Bruce Lee in a real MMA fight," the video's YouTube description reads. He's fighting Ted Wong here, one of his top students. They are wearing protective gear because they were NOT ALLOWED to fight without them. Those were the state rules at the time. If not for those rules I can guarantee you that Bruce would have fought bare-knuckled. The footage is restored to 4K resolution. Enjoy."
