Humans are social animals.
No matter how good at fighting, how strong or how big you are, a high verbal IQ, socialmaxxed Chad will always have more friends and status than you. Which will give him more power than all your fighting skills.
If you get in a fight with a high verbal IQ, socialmaxxed Chad the whole group will team up against you, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Good luck being the outcast.
Look at Chimps, the alpha male is often not the biggest or the strongest (although they are above average for their chimp group). However, they are the most socially apt ones and most popular. Tyrant alpha chimps don't last long, the lower chimps get tired of being mogged and bullied by them and come together to overthrow them.
Remember the best defense humans have is numbers. If you become socially apt and are able to be a leader of a group of men or at least one of the respected members of a group, you have much better chances in fights than the lone wolf MMA fighters.
Don't get me wrong, being stronger, faster, bigger and a better fighter will help you get respect and become a more likely leader/respected member, but this should be the mindset you have: I will lift and train so guys will respect me more and I will ascend the social ladder. Also, the self-defense aspect is undeniable. But being verbally and socially gifted is much more important for climbing a group's social ladder which results in self-preservation in today's society, and improving this should be your number 1 priority.
TL;DR: Status will get you much farther in terms of self-defense and successful reproduction than fighting skills alone.
This will be "H2O is damp" to some people.
