It would never work in real fight.
Some of it will work and does work in a real fight. It comes to knowing what technique to use in what situation and to react quickly. Bruce Lee looked into what is effective and what is not when he formulated Jeet Kune Do.
No one in UFC uses it because 90% of all real fights end up on the floor.
First of all UFC is not the same as realistic street fighting. UFC is a sport for TV entertainment purposes. Real fights have no rules and are far more dirty. Due to the popularity of UFC, fighting has evolved as people copy what they see in UFC, but that was the also case with Martial arts movies and even WWF/WCW.
Also 90% of fights do not end up on the ground...they end up with one person on the ground. Grappling skills and ground fighting are useless against a knockout punch, which is all it takes. In real fighting it's not a common sight to see two guys wrestling on the ground as in UFC, usually one will be on the ground and the other will be kicking him.
knowing kung fu would help you in fighting 3 guys at the same time but not one on one.
It depends on the style. Styles like Wing Chun, Choi Li Fut and Sanda are effective in real fights.
