Is muy thai good for street fighting?

i like watching mma, and might give it a shot. Is muy thai good for street fighting, iam thinking about muy thai or going to an mma gym to start training. I have some boxig experience, and my strength is hand speed. Also who would win in a fight a very good street fighter who has no formal training, or someone who practices muy thai and jujitsu ?

Is muy thai good for street fighting?
muy thai is great for street fights because ive done it for about 4 to 5 years and i live in area where there is alot of street fights or when someone gets rushed. muy thai is street fighting because you can use elbows and knees aswell as fists and legs. also in street fighting people often cheat and kickboxing / muy thai can teach you some deadly moves and grapples like a chop to the groin or someting. So i suggest you take up muy thai but use it only for the purpose of good like self defence. ps last time i was in a fight and i automatically done a arm lock and almost broke the geezas hand.
Reply:You have to keep in mind that MMA and street fighting are not the same thing. So in a cage fight jiu jitsu is good because the ground is soft. However in real life, trying to do an arm-bar on concrete is going to hurt a lot. If you watch season 5 of the ultimate fighter when two guys got in a fight out on the patio, a guy tried to use jiujitsu but the other guy just lifted him and dropped him on concrete. I would recommend Muay Thai because it is a fantastic striking art. More so, in street fighting, if there is more than one guy against you, your jiu jitsu will be useless because you're tied up with one guy while the other is sucker punching you. Stick to a striking art for right now and keep in mind that there are no rules in street fighting either. You can hit to the back of the head or kick em in the nuts etc. Muay Thai is fantastic in both long and short range, especially with the elbows and kness. I would not recommend winding up for a crazy Muay Thai kick in a crowded area because your recovery time will be too long. In addition I would recommend you continue your boxing as a complement to Muay Thai. Hope this helps.
