Well, as someone who's been stabbed in a situation like that all I can say is, for me, the "flight" mechanic did not kick in and my brain decided he needed to be stopped by force. I wasn't into MMA at that time, had only started Kickboxing a few months before this incident as my friends done it and I decided to do it for fitness rather than being able to beat someone up. The calmest people I know are people that can fight, but at that moment for me I was anything but calm and I reacted. I do not regret hitting him, I just think now that I was lucky not to have been seriously hurt. Dom is right in what he says, if you can walk away from a fight do it.
