"Look, man, I got it all planned out. Most fights in places like this never get past a punch or two before they're broken up, know what I'm saying? There's almost a natural instinct not to upset the herd. So all I have to do is get in one good punch, play defense and wait."

Wait what? What makes you think that Mike? I think once you have put in a few years of consistent training, meaning a least a few times a week with full contact sparring you will definitely be applying what you have drilled in your head hundreds of times.
I have two buddies that I train with that have both ended a street fight with one kick, one was a head kick and the other was a body kick. If you are extensively trained and you use it in a street fight it is highly frowned upon in every MMA gym, unless someone is threatening you or you are helping someone else who is being threatened. In both cases my buddies were being threatened. Maybe you mean guys that are relatively new to the sport, then I would agree with you.
Street fighting doesn't have moves and counters. I'm not saying the average joe has an advantage over the person that trains to fight--definitely not. Just that it's a different ballgame. It's not a game. Lots of good fighters have been jacked up in street fights.
There's much more randomness to the street fight.
I trained and even taught martial arts years ago. Throwing a kick is usually a bad idea. That said, I know of two incidences with some good fighters--same thing. One was a body kick, the other a head kick. Still, delivering those kicks in a street fighting situation is a gamble most of the time.
If one of your buddies tried kicking me I'd block with my right hand, locky with my left arm and inside trip. MMA guys bring their techniques to streetfighting all the time and get their assez handed to them. FACT.
and yes i also train MMA.. been doing martial arts since i was 12 yrs old.. now 31.. Tang Soo Do and BJJ..

Not a chance.
one has rules, one doesnt. it changes everything. one is about discipline, and the other rewards "crazy".
good streetfighters arent good mma guys, and vice versa. not that one cant train to be the other. but just cause you can mma fight, doesnt mean you are automatically the favorite in a streetfight.
for all you who claim to train in mma gyms, i dont know who you train with but ive never once heard a mma guy say that he's comfortable in a streetfight. and i used to train with josh barnett, former UFC heavyweight champ. among others.
Enter weapons and sucker punches from behind and its a whole different game.
Its very very risky. I'd only engage in a fight if my, or my friends or family was in real danger.
Hell yer we made it to 10 pages!
believe it or not, this was a topic that was brought up often and discussed for shits and giggles.
comparing mma to streetfighting is as useless as comparing mma to boxing...or boxing to streetfighting for that matter.
