First question I as is WHY do you want to be a good STREET FIGHTER? Why do you plan on fighting in the streets? Do you live in an area where you need to have good street fighting skills?

Street fighting is mental status. Not physique. Any pimpled jerk from the street will beat up a "strong man" because he has mind set of a bully, a fighter.
Besides, large bulk and muscles only slow you down. "strong" people are usually rather slow because their muscles act slower.
Remember, kinetic energy is direct product of velocity.

I would say you need the most of basic skills you see in MMA (basically standup striking and grappling and ground grappling and striking). You also need skills to deal with having a weapon and defending against weapons. You need skills to deal with multiple opponents. Running speed is also a good attribute to develop in case things go south.

You also need to practice these skills against non-compliant, resisting opponents in as close to actual street fighting scenarios as possible.

On the other hand, you could simply avoid street fights, which are mostly ego driven and pretty easily avoided.

If anything, more strength = more fast twitch muscle fiber = increased speed. Additionally, kinetic energy is direct product of velocity and mass. That's why most top sprinters look something like this:

If you think your current skills are already deadly for an opponent, why are you asking these questions?

Did you seriously ask if working out has anything to do with fighting skill?
