I've never been in a fight but I've been pretty darn close twice.
First time some white kid I used to hang with kept calling me skinny and making fun of me so I pushed him and we went like ten feet back, then he pushed me and I barely budged. A few days later I went off on him (verbally) and he shut up afterwards.
Second time some nigg who has always hated me for no reason shoved me, so we got into each other's faces and I was like, "Dude, I never did anything to you, back off," and he backed off because he was a true coward.
Thug life chose me.
