Yes. Fighting may fall under a variety of different crimes, most commonly assault and battery. If you are convicted of any of those crimes, you could be sentenced to jail time.

The other party in the fight does not control whether or not you are charged or convicted. Commonly, both parties are arrested and charged in this sort of situation.
