SF, if you want to see what a REAL street fight looks like, youtube and the other video sites are full of them. if you take a look at some, you'll find that people fighting in the street do NOT follow any rules and will not hesitate to kick a man who's down. I'm not saying that it's right, just that it is reality.

When MMA Started it was virtually no holds barred, there are rules now, more then ther probably should be, and preople fail to see that, because the idea of groundfighting seems so violent to the masses for no reason at all.
I've been in bar fights and streetfights. I've trained kickboxing and hobbied in wrestling, and the difference is huge. I'm more likely to get hurt in a street fight.

I don't know what street fights some have watched but they are generally known to be "no rules". No rules includes hitting someone when they are down.
Boxing is dead.

Good Call on Muay Thai.
