It's amazing to me people can't see the difference in MMA and street fighting. I have 0 mma and little training. Before I was successful in life I would fight anyone, anywhere. Now I have to much to lose.
In a street fight, even the most highly skilled fighter can get blindsided and knocked out. Will a MMA fighter fight through a steel toe work boot nut kick? Can he execute his BJJ against a man literally 3x his size?
A typical street fighter doesn't protect his hands, I can tell if you fought by looking at your hands. My hands are a mess from trying to end fights fast. I have been hit with bottles, bit, kicked, baseball batted and had guns pulled on me. I've been followed from bars.
No one dies in MMA, people die in real fights. I am NOT a better fighter then a trained professional and I have shit for cardio. But I have size, strength and my friends look like an offensive line for a pro football team. I also have friends who are pros and trained with the best. I'm not afraid of the little guys
