The adrenaline dump zaps a huge amount to energy when it kicks in, killing your technique, but conditioning really helps with this - so I would argue that conditioning is very important during sport and street fighting. The better conditioned people almost always comes out on top, I've seen it happen again and again - unless there is a huge gap in the skill level. The best strategies and techniques in the world aren't worth shit against a strong determined opponent unless you're in the well conditioned shape to use them, that is unless you are fighting old ladies and little children or someone of "much" lesser skill.
Good point. Adrenaline dump, conditioning to make your body tougher so you can take a beating and still get away and being in good enough condition to run as long as you need to run to get away. I think conditioning is super important for "street" stuff.
The adrenaline dump thing is actually something that I like about the competitions that I've done in Sport grappling. Getting used to dealing with the dump and being able to get past that and use technique and not get too tired.
