Do MMA Results Translate to Street Fighting?

[LeBron]

If one guy beat another guy in an MMA match (clear win, not debatable), would he also win against that fighter in a street fight? I know street fights are different with no cage and time limit, but what’s the probability the result is the same?

 

[AmericanMMA]

No they do not

 

[LeBron]

No they do not

I was just thinking what if Masvidal didn’t cheap shit Colby and they just scraped it out on the street. I think Colby fucks him up tbh.

Off the top of my head, I can’t really think of a MMA fight that I would expect the opposite result for in a street fight.

I mean different tactics could be employed but I suspect a strong correlation. Jon Jones still fucks up all those fighters in the street, maybe a lot worse.

I think 2009 Anderson still beats 2009 Forrest in a street fight.

I think it depends on a lot of factors -- where are they fighting? Are there walls and stuff or is it an open field? Getting taken down on a hard surface could end a fight instantly, potentially, as opposed to being taken down on grass or dirt. Also, there are no convenient stand ups due to inactivity or the end of a round. Groin strikes, headbutts, knees/kicks to a downed opponent, shots to the back of the head, etc. are not condemned if there are no refs.

The REAL threads come out when there's no UFC event on the weekend.

FYI... Lee Murray GOAT street fighter.

CM Punk’s skill set didn’t necessarily translate well to MMA under a set of rules. But on the street, CM punk is the goat.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

One is a sport with rules and refs..

One is a combat situation with no rules or parameters in regards to time and location..


I think every single fight plays out differently as a street fight vs an MMA fight ....it just not possible that it doesnt ..

 

[dildos]

No. No rules in street fighting. Clearly results could never be the same.

 

[haj02]

Mostly the results would be the same but even in the context of an MMA fight, if the same two fighters fight then the results are not always the same. The absence of round breaks is the biggest difference, if a guy mounts you in a street fight then you are probably done - there's no end of round to save you.

 

[Sullen Drunkard]

I don't know, but I'd rather have Tank Abbott behind me in a street brawl than Ngannou

 

[Xuh]

GSP once 50-45'd three dudes at the same time on the streets

 

[mirko>anyone]

There are a bunch more factors in a street fight. Terrain, no rules, setting, booze, 1 v 1?, are both ready?

Imagine if Daniel Cormier dumped Hendo on concrete.

I would still favor the better MMA fighter in a street fight as well. Colby would likely take masvidal down, pull his pretty ponytail, and headbutt until he killed Jorge. The fake Scareface shit is cool and all, but no.

Apparently boxers, who only know how to use their fists, are the worlds greatest street fighters.

The greatest street fighter in the world would be the real baddest man on the planet, objectively speaking. Definitely not coming from boxing.

 

[Black Blood]

The answer is Maybe.

I thought boxers would beat MMA fighter on the streets though? Because magically on the streets they know how to fight in 100 different ways instead of, you know, one?

But are weapons allowed?, since its a street fight

you do understand that there are no rules in a street fight, right? You do understand that the average sherbro could take on, Fedor, GSP, and Conor all at the same time with an Uzi and win?
