I guess what it means is if I see
every fight as a situation where I could die, then I'd be more apt to be less confrontational and more aware of my surroundings.
I wouldn't pick fights for just any reason and I would try to avoid places and situations where they are likely to occur since my life is worth a lot to me.
Now I am not saying MMA people feel this way and I am not saying there aren't any SD guys who aren't asshole either. This is just the mind set I have.
If you see every fight as a tough man competition you can walk out of or get medical attention for before you die then I feel that maybe you have an unrealistic mind set. Also if you fight every fight with the mind set you might die you train for this.
I doubt that this would not be frowned upon in a ring sport since the object isn't to kill your opponent just incapacitate.
