RE: "Looked amazing in a demonstration". What about a real combative fight? I don't think it would go quite his way."

- Actually, Cheung Deng Shen was not only an undefeated several time Shuai-Chiao Champion, he was the Chinese National Lei Tei Fighting Champion in 1933. This had the best fighters from many kung fu systems all over China fight each other with very few rules.
I know of Cung Le and he IS good. But I do not observe him using any one style. He fights much like most other MMA fighters. He does not restrict himself to this style or any other. To do that would limit his potential. The best fighters are instinctive and adaptive. They cross train with all possible techniques yet are not married to any one of them. Bruce Lee said "the best way is no way". When combined with a high degree of speed, strength and athleticism this produces the best fighters.
And you know this - how? None of us know how very old men would do in a fight because they are old men and not even close to what they were when they were young.
I think in their primes, Helio (RIP) would have defeated him because he defeated every other man anywhere near his weight. That is my only reason for thinking that.
Go watch Gracies doing there demonstrations of there BJJ it's quite similar. I don't see why you're so ill about it. Plus look at Cung le. He's a example of someone who uses Shuai Ciao in MMA.
Chang was undisputed champion of all of china during his life time! This is real combat & it does really work! MMA is sloppy

He would whoop Helio (R.I.P 1913- 2009) or any other 72 year old grappler easy
