I've watched a lot of real street fights on the internet. A common technique is where the attacker grabs the shirt of the victim with his left hand and throws non stop punches with his right hand (reminds me of Keith Hackney vs Royce Gracie). The left hand grab is up by the lapel / center chest area and the right hand punches are generally straight and fast (maybe 2 or 3 punches per second).

How would you defend against this?
 
. dont let him grab your shirt
. punch him before he punches you with the other hand
.shielding blocks swim inside for under hooks
 
Thai clinch and throw him around he wont be throwing to many punches while he is being ragdolled
 
Thank him. He could have just sucker punched you. Now you have a warning.

While you are trying to Thai clinch he is punching you into unconsciousness.
 
If his left hand is grabbing your shirt, its not defending his head. If he is just hammering away with one hand, shell up on your left to protect your ear, temple, and jawline. Move toward him asap and get a "dirty boxing" clinch with your left hand around the back of his head, grabbing a handful of hair if he has any. If he still has a hold of your shirt (he'll more than likely be trying to push you away now), right hooks and uppercuts all day.

Many people in this position stop striking when they start getting lit up, so he may now try to push you away with both hands to avoid further damage. Its up to you what you want to do from there.

There are lots and lots grappling options too.
 
Uppercut elbow, to start with. Cover your ear with your hand while swinging your elbow up to his chin.

Then kick him in the nuts and take his girlfriend out for a drink.

Don't wear shirts ever. It's what me and Phil Baroni do because we're jacked. I don't know Phil Baroni but I think he should do it because he's jacked.
 
Trap his left hand to your chest with your left hand. Pull away and rotate to the outside of his left arm to straighten his arm. Forearm his elbow joint (should be straight) in an attemp to break the arm. Bring the elbow back and elbow his jaw. Step using the arch area of your foot against the back of his knee. He is now on his knee. You can get behind him and apply a choke.
 
Underhook his right arm, headbutt, and throw. Then get the fuck out of there.
 
It's really the best technique to use for a streetfight standing, and it's hard to evade.

Basically just circle to the side he's grabbing and try to get wrist control on his punching hand.

A throat strike is ideal.
 
Well if he's got a hold of my shirt then I think the best thing to do would be to get as close to him as possible. Then go for the underhook and trap his shoulder. That should force him to let go... In this position he can't really punch you as you have his arm trapped, the other arm being used to grab your shirt. He won't do much good headbutting from this position, if he does try then its going to be very awkward to pull off and I'm doubting he'll be able to get much power out of it.

Really, he'll be forced to let go in order to hit you. When he does let go you should be able to turn into him with the underhook and pull his head down where you can get a few knees into him.

That's the theory anyway, whether or not it will work is another story. Just the rule of thumb is when someone has you in that position is to get close as it makes you awkward to punch and they can't get as much power into them. Trying to move backwards or trying to pull out of it would be the last thing to do as you'll leave yourself open and with the distance your making between you and your opponent, the punches will have further to travel and gather more momentum.
 
Pull him as close as possible to you and bite a hole in his neck. Then knee him in the balls, curb stomp him and bang his girlfriend.
 
if he grabs you with his left hand, smack him with a fedor overhand right. quick and easy lol
