Answer 2

I haven't seen any US fighters in street fights lately. These guys are professionals, and not likely to just get in a brawl.  Street fighting would cost most of them their careers, and most of them travel with an entourage of other fighters, trainers, etc.  They just don't get picked on.  Plus their lawyers keep this stuff out of the press as much as possible.

Kimbo almost got into a fight after that Elite XC garbage, but it was squashed by his people, and incidents like this are common.  I heard rumors about Karo Parysian and Nate Diaz having had incidents (not including the one on the show last year) and Jeremy Horn too, but no arrests were made.

Answer 3

BJ Penn was charged for assaulting an off duty cop

Answer 4

Professional Fighters tend to try to avoid that. They don't really need the ego stroking, nor the legal trouble, nor the whole loss of paycheck and livelihood as most organizations kick guys who engage in that sort of stuff out of their organizations.

Also Kimbo Slice didn't really do street fighting, he did unsanctioned, pre set up, fights with rules. They weren't random incidents or no holds barred, they were pre arranged fights with money on the line, and a rule set. (One that heavily favored Kimbo).

Answer 5
