Ta yidii durwuki tagga sarla ma.

If you are spoiling for a fight, fold the hem of your trousers.

Both proverbs illustrate doing things in full measure, however, the alternate employs the modern way of wrestling in an arena.

• Postproverbial: Ta yiɗii durwuki saidillu fellere durwuki.
  Translation: If you are spoiling for a fight, go to the wrestling ring.
