streetfighter

Pavement combat participant

A streetfighter is someone who fights in unregulated, informal combat—brawls rather than sanctioned matches.

The term suggests scrappy toughness and willingness to fight dirty: He's a political streetfighter who doesn't back down from attacks.

In video gaming, *Street Fighter* is a landmark fighting game franchise that popularized the genre.
