a very common situation when 2 hostile groups,gangs come against each other to fight and dominate?

It could be a slang word, what is the occurrence of this situation?

I can think of gang fight, but I want to hear more 'slang' word.

May be rumble, shootout, hassle, showdowns? What else?

Thanks

Probably a showdown:

  • An event, especially a confrontation, that forces an issue to a conclusion.

or a clash:

  • An encounter between hostile forces; a battle or skirmish.
