Can you explain how you came to this conclusion?
I don't recall seeing anywhere that Zimmerman confronted Martin.
If Zimmerman did confront Martin I don't recall seeing that he initiated the fight.
There does seem to be ample evidence that Martin was beating on Zimmerman (lacerations on head, broken nose). Martin didn't have a scratch other than on his fists. Wouldn't that mean that Zimmerman could use his gun in self defence?

Would you suggest a kid talking to his girlfriend carrying skittles would attempt to make contact with a complete stranger for no reason or would it be more believable that the cop wannabe was following and after words were exchanged a fight ensued where the scumbag got the short end of the stick?
And let's not ignore the fact that it was proved that the cops told him to stop following him and leave him alone. Martin had nothing to gain to confront the cop wannabe. Zimmerman provoked the situation, it's very obvious and it's no surprise that a group of 6 mostly white jurors who probably can't find their state on a map decided against the black dude. Racism is alive and well in the great USA.
