Even if you deliberately didn't leave and dared him to swing on you because you wanted a fight yourself?

It would depend on local laws, the exacty circumstances leading up to the fight, and what the results of the fight are.

Probably not, and that's a good thing the majority of the time.

I know but I mean like some drunk guy starts messing with your friends and you, feeling like you've been having a boring night, step between them and tell him to either swing or leave but refuse to do anything yourself in order to not get arrested.

most of the time if the person swings then its acceptable to defend yourself to a point, but as long as theres witnesses saying you defended yourself and friends then youll be fine.
