If a fight has an outcome that is game-related, it needs a judge. For example, if you're trying to steal an artefact, or claim a bounty, or are in competition otherwise for something that would be a game-related advantage, then you need to find a staff judge.
If you're just beating each other up for shits and giggles, yeah, go ahead and decide it yourselves if you want. Certainly you still CAN have a staff judge if you just want an impartial decision as to who wins (see Retane v Renji as an example of this) but you don't have to. A good example of this is something like when Mickey and Deadpool fought upon first meeting each other in Dante's Abyss.
Although, I'd go so far to say as something without a staff judge isn't technically a "Fight," capital-F, but rather just a fight in your plot line. An extension of your story.
