Yes that’s true, consider though that vaseline is usually used to reduce the chance of cuts. Plus my point is basically that a few cuts or a broken nose is a much smaller injury than permanent brain damage. Plus, the risks are still probably lower than the risks of elbows, knees and brain issues. Most real damage from fist fights comes when someones head hits a solid floor after losing balance or consciousness - that is certainly very dangerous.
