Probably 3 maybe 4 that I can remember since I became an adult, all in self defense, but I don't know if "fight" is really the right word...skirmishes?
I spend a LOT of time working in clubs and bars so its only a matter of time before some belligerent drunk accosts you because they think you've been looking at their girlfriend, bumped into them on purpose or something equally stupid. Since getting into fights is pretty dumb I usually do what I can to defuse the situation, I'll apologize (even if its not my fault) or buy somebody a drink to calm things down but it doesn't always work and you have to defend yourself. Of course in these situations usually the person accosting me is so drunk they can barely stand up so you can imagine how uneventful the "fight" really is before people step in.
Anyway I wouldn't recommend it (unless you absolutely can't avoid it) either, a blow of any sort can do some serious damage if done properly (or improperly for that matter) and god forbid somebody pulls a knife or a gun. I honestly don't fully know the legal aspects of it but I would assume assult charges amongst other things (depending on how out of hand it gets) would be brought up, arrests, jail time, fines, court costs, records, hospital bills, lawsuits...I don't know it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
