This is one area where learning a martial art with more of a philosophy behind it might be more beneficial than just training technique at a McDojo.

In a good martial arts school you will learn how to discipline the mind, and not just the body. In a good school you'll learn to avoid fights as much as learn to win fights. In a good school you will learn to control your ego.

Also, I would add that I think a person's willingness to pick fights has more to do with the kind of environment they grew up in, their peers, parents, and role models, than it does with whether they had MMA training.
