I totally agree, and I get the same. I've had people come up to me and say the exact same thing. Also, what is the likelihood of two MMA fighters meeting each other in the street and fighting? MMA is a controlled sport, a street fight is totally different. First thing i'd do in a street fight would be kick them in the balls, and if they're still standing there.... Kick em again. But saying that, i wouldn't mind watching a couple of real good mma fighters having a brawl outside the local!
