There are several martial arts discipines that teach practical fighting techniques that would serve the user well in a street fight if he was in shape and practiced. As a matter of fact the gym where I work out is owned by a master of seven or eight different martial arts disciplines and he teaches a class to law enforecement personnel and private citizens specifically for self-defense in real life situations, including techniques like disarming an attacker with a weapon. A lot of other elements certainly come into play in a street fight like surprise, weapons, multiple attackers, who is more drunk etc, but knowing some martial arts sure isn't going to hurt if you are strong and aren't scared to fight.
