What does "to run the fade" mean in street slang?

The structure combines "run" (to execute or engage in) with "the fade" (slang for a fight or physical confrontation), forming a verb phrase that treats fighting as an event to be scheduled. It is used to describe engaging in a one on one fight, often agreed upon beforehand to settle a dispute without weapons or outside interference. People typically say "let's run the fade" when challenging someone to a fair fight, or "they ran the fade" after a conflict is resolved.
