You often hear the expression "mano y mano" on movies & TV when folks are a fixin' to fight.

ease up there little smiley dude!
I always thought "mano y mano" = "hand to hand". It always makes me happy when tough guys want to hold hands

...but it does sound a little like "man to man".
Which is it? Are they confusing with "mono y mono" (1 to 1)?
