His dedication to the craft of martial arts both on and off the movie-screen has helped to lay the ground work for what the world now knows and recognizes as modern mixed martial arts.


Building the legendary fighter was both an exciting yet nerve racking challenge,  says Ian Lloyd, EA Sports UFC Art Director. With many artist eager to jump on board to re-create Bruce Lee, EA Sports UFC decided to go with the artistic expressions of Stephen Chan as the man to re-create Bruce Lee. Having built several UFC characters from scratch, Stephen Chan relished the opportunity and jumped at the chance.

Working closely with Bruce Lee's Enterprise, Ian Lloyd said they were very fortunate to be provided with tons of amazing digital catalogues of Bruce spanning his entire acting career as well as some rare behind the scene footages that helped them to truly capture the face, body and mannerisms of Bruce Lee.
