Although you might want to avoid getting into a street fight in the first place sometimes you have no choice but to stand your ground and protect yourself. Having martial arts knowledge provides a considerable head-start in a street altercation.
You know what else does?
Having a trained fighter by your side. Because trained fighting machines may come in handy if you ever find yourself trapped in a street fight. Obviously, all fighters are tough and skilled, bar a few exceptions. But some are better suited than others when it comes to an old-fashioned brawl on the street. Here are my top 10 choices for fighters I’d want to have by my side in a streetfight!
5) Bas Rutten
Talk about street fighting experience.
The former UFC world champ has been in numerous brawls all over the world. Bar fights, street altercations, taking on bouncers. Bas Rutten has done it all. His bar fighting YouTube video has reached legend status.

The Dutchman, on top of being an MMA pioneer and UFC Hall of Fame member, has street fighting experience as well. A lot of it. Whenever you need someone to drop fools with liver shots left and right you know who to give a call.
4) Wanderlei Silva
You know someone has violent tendencies when his nickname is The Axe Murderer. Wanderlei Silva is arguably the most ferocious MMA fighter to ever have stepped in a ring or cage. His PRIDE stint is now legendary, and what fans remember about him is the ferocity he showcased in the ring.
Wild hooks. Devastating knees. Soccer kicks. Stomps. Yeah, Wanderlei’s fighting arsenal was quite monstrous. No doubt you want that guy by your side in a street fight.
3) Brock Lesnar
At 6 feet and 3 inches (191cm) and more than 265 pounds (120kgs), Brock Lesnar is a physical monster. The former UFC Heavyweight champion is one of the most physically impressive fighters to have ever stepped foot inside the Octagon.
Boasting a devastating right hand and world-class wrestling skills, Brock Lesnar could probably clear out a bar full of drunken assailants with one hand.
2) Mike Tyson
I think Iron Mike Tyson needs no introduction. Made a cultural landmark by his wild and flamboyant journey through the world of boxing, Mike Tyson truly is a combat sports legend. If you’re old enough you probably remember Tyson’s opponents looking like scared lambs about to be slaughtered before getting in the ring with him. Tyson seriously looked like a ferocious beast in the ring.
1) Fedor Emelianenko
Regarded by many fans and pundits alike as the best Heavyweight MMA fighter of all time, Fedor Emelianenko’s journey in the PRIDE ring is legendary. Undefeated for more than ten years Fedor was a fighting beast. The thing about the Russian is that he was really versatile.
Although he comes from a judo and sambo background the Russian was also an expert on the feet. Quick reflexes, amazing agility, and speed for a Heavyweight and a killer overhand right made Fedor someone you don’t want to trade blows it. If you need ONE MMA fighter by your side it’s got to be Fedor Emelianenko.
