mma is a mixture of different combat sports, whereas muay thai is striking only, so they can't be compared lol

yes they can.

who do you think will win in a street fight. a guy who joined a mma gym and learned AT LEAST the basics of ground game and striking or a guy who does muay thai only and gets taken down and choked out within seconds

You don't get it, muay thai is part of mma. You can compare muay thai with boxing or taekwando or something, but mma is like a combination of different combat sports, so it's not fair to compare mma with muay thai or any one dimensional combat sport

mma is a sport on itself.. there is MMA gyms where u can just start as a beginner. so it pretty much is an own sport

its like saying u cant compare a boxer to a kickboxer because boxing is part of kickboxing. u can compare any martial arts for street fighting

Let me put it this way then, mma is most effective for a combat sport, but muay thai might be most effective as a singular "one dimensional" combat sport.
