"Let's Fight like gentlemen."
I kinda feel sorry for the guy who picks a fight thinking it's just some typical macho chest beating BS, while the other guy has a more pragmatic attitude and gouges his eyes out or stabs him. Not everyone is out to prove something, and there are a lot of people out there who look at any fight as a kill or be killed situation.
The toughguy posturing needs to stop. Even the most skilled fighter who can take the guy to the ground and own him outright is susceptible to a life ending beating when there are more than two people involved. Dominating someone on the ground doesn't get you very far when his buddy runs up and kicks you in the face or stomps on your skull.
Common sense dictates that the only good strategy is to avoid a street fight whenever possible and failing that, fight your way to an escape using any means necessary. Anyone who tells you otherwise is fronting or stupid.
