In my 20s I'd say I can handle myself very good, lost a few times, but won more. But now in my late 30s, I'd say I'm above average scrapper. Although, saying that I take the high road now and just walk away, no point in escalating the situation.

Did spend a little time in a boxing gym in my teenage years.
Had over 20 street fights in my life.
Half+ were bar fights in my early 20s.
Last bar fight was pre covid.

Im now 35 and overweight (240)

So idk.
Would handle easily any dudes who never got in a real fight in his life, but would now have tough time Vs any younger, in shape agressive guy nowadays imo.

Mouth piece in
Let's knuckle up
 
Depends if the ladies are watching.

If there aren't any around, I try to talk my way out of it.

I guess I can try to "Homer Simpson" my way to victory.

Depends what country I'm in. In Australia (where I live and am from) my junior school was the only one that did wrestling (fancy private school could afford ex Soviets to teach freestyle).

With my current bench of 336 and the Australian population's unfamiliarity with the concept of the sprawl most Australian males would be on the receiving end of a slam if they faced me unarmed 1v1. Large islanders like mark hunt or tai tuivasa and other units however would be likely too big for me to dissuade with a dominant takedown, against those guys discretion would be the better part of valour.

Crack heads like the guy who once attacked me at maccas however, def ending up slammed. On the hard MacDonalds floor one bearhug takedown was enough to bust the guys shoulder and have blood leaking out of his ears. Meanwhile my flip flops didn't even come off (and luckily didn't get any blood on me).
 
I've never been in a street fight. As weird as that sounds, because I live in a shithole, but getting into fights here will cause you to incur into criminal charges that make it impossible to get some kinds of jobs, even if you get away with a fine or community service.
It will also likely get you killed, see Leandro Lo.

If I had to defend myself I think I'd do alright, I'm somewhat in shape and slightly bigger than the average here. I'm a BJJ purple belt and I've boxed very little, but I can throw a punch better than the average Joe. I'd get destroyed by any guy with professional experience or a bouncer or seasoned street brawler.
 
I trained Muay thai, wrestling, bjj, and mma to tie it all together for over ten years. Also did years of tkd and kenpo. Added in about a year of judo. Competed and medaled in naga and some other competitions. Throw in powerlifting for several years and I’m also substantially stronger than most people you’ll meet outside of a true powerlifting gym. So if I was a grown man with a teenager’s temperament I’d be a real problem for anyone who isn’t a pro fighter once this fucking leg heals up. We had pros at my old gym that could best my ass still but I at least got to where I made them work for it.
 
im.an old fuck who can trash some loudmouth untrained fucker.

lsst steet fight was when covid started people were confused and aggressive, so was i. i had a confrontation where a guy told in the queue told me ' Flaco, sos un pelotudo '
(Man you re an asshole/fool) as i replied '
Y vos andate a la concha de tu madre "
(Fuck you and your mother)

Mofo was big, wider than i and a bit shorter
he immediately took off his backup, came straight to me talking shit trying to lure me into sucker punchimg me , but as soon as he came close enough he was punched.

I threw a 1 2 only conecting the jab (thing is lot of people watching i wanted to stay im my step) while the left hand landed, he backed up, so i kicked him in the nuts (in order to not come forward him)

he was wobbled.
im.happy the jab landed, couldnt land the right cause he went back and i didnt follow.
i also was disappointed with my kick. i thought it would make more harm.
still a W
 
Im a smaller guy but I know how to fight and used to box and do Taekwondo for years. Ive also fought guys with 50lbs on me and won. I can handle myself
