Stand up for -
To defend or support a particular idea or a person who is being criticized or attacked. (Cambridge Essential American.)
In the Wordhippo "stand up" can be in the sense of "a noisy quarrel about something trivial": brawl, quarrel, row, fight (in the sense o brawl, etc).
There is also a Wordhippo entry for "stand up" related to "a fight with the fists": punch up, encounter, fisticuff, fistfight, etc.
Though, "stand up" with "for" is usually about confronting and "returning blows" (metaphorical blows, not literally). Used often about somebody defending himself from harassing or people pushing their limits.
The Free Dictionary goes "stand up for (oneself). 1. To defend oneself from physical or verbal assault or intimidation.".
So getting physical is not out of the question, but it suggests that you may dissuade the other party from attacking you (as in "stand for yourself against a bully" for instance). Coming to blows could be both, a consequence and mean to 'stand up for oneself' in such case.
