This is my favourite because it really demonstrates Bruce's philosophy to fighting and life. At the start he is no match for Chuck Norris but then he loosens up and starts to figure him out, adapting to his opponents energy. He circles him using great footwork, throws fakes and sets him up for hits. He becomes more devastating when he destroys Chuck's limbs and eventually kills him. Bruce was all about being natural and reacting to your opponents energy.

The fight scenes from Green Street Hooligans were pretty great.

The infamous fight scene from Oldboy is pretty badass.

Dammit I was also going to post that scene from They Live. Oh well, have to settle for Roman Polanski's Macbeth instead.

That Oldboy fight scene was epic

Personally I loved the fight scenes in Ong Bak, they were very different from much of what was shown before.
Then there is IP MAN where Donnie Yen kicks some serious butt.
There was also this one Jackie Chan movie, I can't remember the title ... I know that one of the final fights took place on a roof of a skyscraper, I remember watching the movie and being mesmerized by the choreography.
All can be found on youtube.
Oh, and let's not forget anything with Steven Segal in it! (joke, relax, hide the torches and pitchforks :P)

The Jackie Chan movie you might be thinking of is "Who am I?"

Yeah, I wanted to mention Ong Bak as well. They did those fight scenes in one sweeping take.

Who am I! That's it! It is just as cheesy as your average Jackie Chan movie, but the fighting scenes were great, even for a .. well, Jackie Chan movie.

Another one that was kinda fun was Kung Fu Hustle, though it was closer to DragonBall than to mma
