Does Fighting Target in MTG?
Nope, fighting in MTG doesn't target. Even though it seems like it would cause two creatures to kinda 'duel' it out, the rules say fighting isn't the same as targeting. So, spells or abilities that say 'target' don't apply when you're making creatures fight each other.

No, but actually... kinda yes? While traditional fighting doesn't target, some cards that cause fights might have targeting restrictions for choosing the fighters, so always check your cards!
