If people come to a party looking for a fight and get one, I'd say that's more of a mutual combat situation than self defense. You can't lose a fight and claim assault if you were a willing participant.

Funny story, many, many years ago I got in to it with somebody in traffic. They got out of their car, called me out of mine, got hit a few times and tried to press assault charges. Luckily there were a ton of witnesses and the cops called it Mutual Combat and just moved on.
