Professional fighters and martial artists cannot engage in street fights as it could put their career at stake. But that is not to say that should an emergency arise, they will not be able to handle themselves or defend themselves outside the sports world.

There is a distinction between consensual and non-consensual physical altercations. For example, if two individuals mutually agree to engage in a physical exchange, such as a consensual sparring match or fight, this constitutes a voluntary act. However, this is fundamentally different from responding to an unprovoked and unlawful attack, where one must act in self-defense to protect themselves from imminent harm or aggravated assault.
