Mercutio is looking for a fight anyway. He doesn't like Tybalt and sneers at him, calling him the "Prince of Cats". When Romeo does not respond to Tybalt's insults, Mercutio gets angry on Romeo's behalf, but it wasn't going to take much to get his sword out anyway.

Benvolio fights Tybalt in Act 1 Scene 1 because Tybalt instigates the fight by challenging Benvolio and the other Montagues. Benvolio tries to keep the peace between the two households, but Tybalt's aggressive actions force him to fight in self-defense.
