You might consider renaming that into "Fighting multiple monsters" or "Fighting multiple monsters at once". "Multiple monsters fighting" actually means there's a large number of monsters having a bar fight or something. And incindentaly, this IS what "brawling" actually is, as a word.
One guy who's really, really, really good for it is Drac on a PoS guy, because PoS is so reductive an uninteractive as a strat, that you can basically pick up a ton of lifesteal and sanguine and play two games at the same time, one where you unload all the mana into the two bossess at the same time - while at the same time fighting the rest of the map with your bigass lifesteal. When your Drac run inevitably dings you, you unload the mana into the bossess and go back to your Drac run. Bossess drop eventually.
There's an Elf Fighter VT Slime Pits run in my playthrough where just that happened, I fought the entire map full of monsters while there was a non-stop PoS spam vs. bosses going on simultaneously throughout the entire run and they only occasionally intersected. It was like I had stronger Swift Hands, because I was actually fighting higher and same level monsters instead of just munching on popcorn.
