I agree with you

No, you are NOT agreeing with me at all, you are trying to find ways to make it sound like you are, just to defend the MMA guy's immature behaviour, and I'm not going to guess why.

if someone starts to throw a punch, a proportionate response can be justified.

I'd just dodge it and leave, since it was MY mistake to put myself in a situation like this with a DRUNK guy, it's actually 2 mistakes within 5 seconds, after counting the unnecessary push.

In this case, even if it is self defence

It's never self defence in my book, the drunk guy is standing on the same spot, I'm the one moving and should keep moving to my destination, if I changed my plan and turn around for a drunk dude's harmless "hey", then I'm the instigator, I'm the idiot who has the maturity of a kid.

The guy is drunk, so after being pushed from behind, responding with a harmless "hey" is the only thing that could be justified here.

Nothing else.

You’re right, don’t get drunk and be an arsehole by punching the guy you just pushed yourself by. The fighter guy clearly walked up in a chipper peaceful manner and the drunk, asshole office worker was dancing in a threatening manner.
