I have been in a few fight's and to be honest it has never lasted long enough for any BJJ to have been helpful(not that I train BJJ or have anything against it, I train MT only right now).
Unless you are alone in a street with just the two of you, chance's are after the first couple blow's 5 things happen: 1) He get's KO 2) You get KO 3) Someone breaks it up 4) His friends jump(in which case no amount of BJJ, JKD or anything will help) or 5) Your friends jump
So in my experiance's MT has helped abit and i would imagine any style which has alot of focus on punching would help in a street fight. The problem with a streetfight is anyone can knock anyone else out with a lucky punch.
Now I'm not saying streetfights don't go to the ground cause i know they do but by the time your on the ground one of the five previously mentioned things has usually happened, that is just my opinion.
