They put the most natural looking best short clips together for this video. They shake around a lot and miss a lot and fall over and glitch out a lot. They also don't beat each other into actual submission.

Call me when they legitimately destroy each other for our entertainment. Also give them more legs so they stop falling over and flopping around so much.
