But the UFC is trying to steer AWAY from being a street fight. Pride is also, though to a lesser extent. Lucky for them, they don't have the NSAC breathing down their necks. I'm sure Pride doesn't want a total street fighter either.

If you like street fights then you want to watch Felony Fights, not MMA (I like both, but there is a big difference). There is never a ring in a street fight either. Not all street fights, not even most that I've seen, are in a wide open area. And personally, I think using the cage as a weapon is closer to a "real" fight than restarting them in the center of the ring is...
