I've watched a bunch of videos by a guy that used to be a cop, was also a trainer for the police, and now has an MMA studio. His assertion, and it makes sense, is that most of the time if 2 people end up fighting, and one of them has a weapon, everyone focuses on the weapon which generally makes the fighting by either one less effective. The fighters are less focused on "stop the fight" and more focused on "got to get or stop him from using ". Where if you concentrated on "stop the fight" you might more quickly accomplish the second.
