Looks perfectly balanced and reasonable.
Also the link is broken so we can't actually view anything lololol

So here's how the card works. You pay to have him fight something, and in the process, he's dealt damage. He deals 1 damage to each other creature, including your own, because of his enrage ability. Those creatures' enrage abilities trigger, and they also each deal 1 damage to each opponent.
Also, messed up his text a bit. Supposed to say, "Whenever another creature you control with Enrage is dealt damage"

So I have given good critiques on several of your cards, so I hope that what I am about to say doesn't come off as terribly insulting. But, this card is very out of balance.
So for 5 mana, a 5/5 is pushing it. Most 4/4s cost 6 mana. So even right off of that, it's a bit overpowered. If it were it a vanilla 5/5 for 5, I suppose that'd be fine. But this isn't vanilla. So, yeah.
Double strike is one of the most powerful abilities in the game. This is one of the reasons it is seldom used, and when it is, the power is generally very low. A 2/4 is hitting for 4 damage, just 2 first strike and 2 regular. Your design as a 5/5 is hitting for 10 total combat damage - 5 first strike damage, and if somehow the blocker or attacker survives, then he hits for an additional 5.
10 damage from a 5mv creature is... damn.
Most of the time, your Enrage is going to trigger off of combat damage. So something or a group of somethings need to soak up and survive 5 total damage before Enrage even kicks in. Then once it does, he deals 1 damage to everything? Bruh, he's already dealing 10 combat damage! Jesus mate.
Now assume you have two or three other creatures with Enrage out. Now, because he dealt 1 damage to each of them, all of THEIR Enrage triggers stack. Oh but they don't just stack, this guy benefits them by ALSO slamming noncombat damage to EACH OPPONENT??
And all of this, on a 5 mana Commander.
Oh and sure he can fight stuff too, for shits and giggles just to cheese your way into that Enrage ability. Sure. Okay. Yup.
This thing is beyond powerful and very unbalanced. I'm sorry man, but it has to be said. A lot of your card designs are very good, but this one basically needs to go back to the drawing board, lol.
That, or make him like 10MV. Like . That's probably fine. Maybe. Lol.

Pfffft
TypicalTimmy: Aight, I've said it once and I'll say it again. Don't ever worry about critiquing my cards, because you see stuff that I don't. And there was a LOT to see this time. Let's get started.
Okay, so here's a list of potential edits. Feel free to call me an idiot for not thinking it through more, hAH
3/3 for
Lose the Double strike, add in First Strike
Remove his current Enrage ability and replace it with "3 damage divided among one, two, or three targets"
Lose the damage to each opponent
And keep the fighting, but maybe up the cost?
Thank you for bringing this to my notice. You're such a bro, bro.

Or or or
4/4 for
First Strike
Enrage is whenever dealt damage, he deals 3 damage to an opponents thing and 1 damage to your creatures
Still lose the damage to opponents
And Screw the fighting, who cares.
