I just got in from getting thrown out of the club for fighting

I was walking by a group of guys and as I go past I suddenly feel a whole drink being poured over my back then I turn round and see the arm of the perpetrator.

Without thinking I pushed him. They were raised up a little on some steps and he is pushed down the steps.

He then comes up to me sizing up so I hold his arms and think (I better deal with this quickly) so I headbutt him. He was taller so I got him nicely in the teeth.

He gets one blow on the face to me which I didn't feel at the time. He then pushes me to the ground but I have his arm and I;m twisting it so he doesn't get to give me more blows.

The bouncer then has us both by the neck then pushes me out bidding me goodnight.

I feel bad right after in case it was an accident so go up to him and apologize saying 'Did you throw a drink on me? Anyway I'm sorry it was a kneejerk reaction'.

As he speaks I see he has blood on his teeth. He said something about it being a mistake and seemed to accept my apology somewhat but then I could tell his anger was welling up again so he accepted it somewhat and then told me I shouldn't have done that then told me to fuck off and walked away.

I felt bad after but he was ok so not so bad. A good learning experience.

How could I have better dealt with it to prevent blows? I imagine just sternly grabbing him and taking him aside to question him could have diffused the situations without it having come to that.

Thoughts?

Well I would have asked him why he just did that and if there was a smirk or smile on his face then I would have beat it off him. You should always try to talk without force if possible, if not then.... Obviously he wasn't too forgiving by saying you shouldn't have done that, but he shouldn't have poured his drink down your back, so screw him....
