Does bouncing prevent fighting in MTG?
Absolutely! In Magic The Gathering, 'bouncing' a creature back to its owner's hand removes it from the battlefield. So, if you bounce a creature before the fight effect resolves, there's no fight because one of the fighters has left the arena. It's the MTG equivalent of ghosting your way out of a duel!

Short answer: Yes. No creature on the battlefield, no fight. Bounce it to hand, and it's like the fight was never going to happen.
Honestly, bouncing as a strategy to avoid fighting is underrated. Did it in a game last week; my opponent was not pleased, but those are the rules. If the creature isn't there, the fight spell or ability fizzles out.
