AP is the man I'd trust most to translate to a street fight...

Cage fighters can fight. Not breaking news.

However, they're used to fighting inside a cage with a referee. That's where they feel comfortable. A lot of them may have been bullied in the streets and that motivated them to show the world they're tough. And they can't exactly go back and beat TF out of former bullies. (Prison, lawsuit, etc)

With all this being said, some cage fighters may struggle a little in a street fight. Anthony Smith apparently had trouble with a home intruder. If enough time elapses before the fight is stopped, I think most of them eventually start winning. However, they may struggle adapting at first.

Out of all the cage fighters in the UFC, I trust AP more than anyone in a street fight. Yes, I know looks can be deceiving, but he can legitimately shake you with a stare. He doesn't seem at all rattled in different fighting environments. He eats adversity for breakfast. If I'm ever getting my ass kicked in a street fight, I want AP to help me.
 
Hmmm. If we're talking literally any fighter in the UFC, I think I'd take Francis. Generally the HW champ is gonna be the guy you want. And Francis grew up in the sand mines in Cameroon and went through hell to escape, he won't be phased by some thug in the streets. He should be number 1 on all lists here and it's not really much of a conversation.

Ya he's terrifying.

Probably a 'real' fighter and not just for sport.
 
Most of sherdogers would beat anyone below 145 Francis Ngannou Alex Pereira Jon Jones Daniel Cormier are real fighters for street fight
 
Back in yesteryear everyone said the same thing about Chuck Liddell. For the same reasons.

Especially after an eyewitness account came out about the Lee Murray KTFO'ing Tito Ortiz incident behind a club. Apparently Liddell was fighting off a handful of guys, KTFO'ing each of them one punch at a time.

EDIT: here's one version. Probably the most important part of this article is “Everyone’s got different memories of the night...." But the crux is, Lee KTFO'd Tito, and Chuck KTFO'd everyone else lol
 
CM Punk is one of the UFC 'fighters" that might struggle in a street (or any for that matter) fight.
