A quick definition of mutual combat:

Term: Mutual Combat

Definition: Mutual combat is when two people agree to fight each other with deadly weapons, but not in self-defense. It is a consensual fight on equal terms that arises from a moment of passion. If someone dies during mutual combat, the charge may be reduced to voluntary manslaughter. It is also known as mutual affray. This is different from a duel, which is a prearranged fight between two people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mutual combat refers to a fight between two people who have agreed to fight each other on equal terms. This type of fight usually happens in the heat of the moment and is not done in self-defense. Both parties are armed with deadly weapons. If someone dies during mutual combat, the charge may be reduced to voluntary manslaughter.

Example: Two people get into a heated argument and agree to fight each other with knives. They both know the risks involved and willingly engage in the fight. During the fight, one person is fatally stabbed. The surviving person may be charged with voluntary manslaughter instead of murder because the fight was consensual and both parties were armed.

Explanation: The example illustrates mutual combat because both parties agreed to fight each other with deadly weapons. The fight was not done in self-defense, and both parties knew the risks involved. The charge may be reduced to voluntary manslaughter because the fight was consensual and not premeditated.
