Worth fighting for sole first author?

I've been working in a lab and gotten some good results so we're close to publishing a paper.

Another undergrad and I have put more work in than anyone else so will be the first two authors. Our postdoc mentioned casually that we would probably be co-first author but I believe I've put a bit more work in than my partner.

Do you think it's worth fighting for sole first author?

No, and don't double post here and in pre-med.
