Social learning theory
Aggression can be learnt through watching others be aggressive and copying or having aggression reinforced
This is why NGBs are putting large fines and banes on aggressive acts in their sport to make sure that this aggression is not shown in society or at grass roots levels
Aggression is reinforced through encouragement and chanting in the crowd which can make the fight more aggressive/go on for longer
