If you watch MMA you would know that this fight would be over around the 1 minute mark.

The impression of realism you get here is not real realism - just a way to simulate it, still holding onto the tropes of the genre and the “time dilation” necessary for suspense in filmmaking.

Real street fights don’t last long, and fights between trained fighters are even shorter. one sucker punch or one good chokehold is all it takes.

Wow, that was very entertaining though obviously a bit comedic. Both characters also seem to have much better technique than conditioning.

The same episode, hilariously, includes one of their least realistic fight scenes. Wild ride.
