Except in the rare cases of actual Count of Monte Cristo style actual revenge against people who provoked the resentment/spite, the emotion is generally an instant-gratification one, like scratching an itch, not an anticipation-based one in striatum circuitry

Desire to fight can come from other sources, like the sheer joy of exercising your skill at it against a competent rival. Or basic survival.
