21. When you said fistfight, I was worried
cause hitting human skulls with your fists is a great way to break bones in your hands.

Even before you said your brother was an expert in MMA, I was going to suggest that he take the dude down, put him in an arm bar and break his little finger. That pretty much ends the "fight/contest/sport" thing right there but without any expensive dental bills.

I wrestled in HS and I've since had some basic Jiu Jitsu training (certainly more than the average tough guy) and I will always take the fight to the ground and look for a submission hold. Or give him a snort full of pepper spray.

I've never understood the whole sportfighting thing when someone is seriously trying to hurt me or one of my own. It's as absurd as challenging the dude to a game of say, backgammon. I mean, we are going to engage in a sport "with rules" where you are trying to knock my teeth out? I don't think so.
