Yep, Bride vs 88 also felt like cheating. Zuko vs Azula was at least 1vs1 for the most part, until Zuko got defeated, but I gotta agree with you, my Avatar bias made me vote for that one, even though Gaara vs Lee is really so iconic. Now I regret my vote, lol.
I don't remember much since I watched it probably over a decade ago, but the story follows a kid being hunted down and a hired bodyguard Nanashi? helping out the kid. Along the way, they are subjected to many moral decisions, while some other conflicts are happening in the background.
They get caught up in it, and Nanashi has to fight an expert western swordman, the other dud in the vid, making for an epic final East vs West showdown.
Well, I didn't write a whole synopsis just for folk to only get the chance to read half of it. Whacking it here since it clearly isn't going to make any difference if people know which one I submitted. Lol.
Chingachgook vs Magua from The Last of the Mohicans (1992).
This is one of my favourite short fights in fiction and it is a fight that has a special place in my heart. This was the first fight I ever saw where one of the fighters got absolutely, utterly and mercilessly wrecked, in a realistic setting no less and it was awesome to young kid me.
So for context, Magua is the antagonist of the movie and is a cunning war chief and dangerous warrior. In nearly every fight he is in, he either seeks to start the fight with the advantage (dude loves a good ambush) or quickly twists a disadvantage into an opportunity with one example being Magua missing his shot at Hawkeye but immediately using the smoke from his musket to cover his escape into the bush before Hawkeye can shoot back.
Magua also proves himself to be a deadly foe in a head on 1v1 fight, defeating Uncas (Chingachgook's son) handily in a duel by using his own tomahawk to block Uncas's tomahawk and counterattacking using the knife in his left hand. Uncas is completely unable to slip past Magua's unbreakable guard and is killed, with Chingachgook witnessing his son's final moments from a short distance away.
So Magua has been an absolutely untouchable menace throughout this film, defeating the British forces in battle, personally executing a British colonel by ripping his heart out and even becoming a hero killer after his fight with Uncas, one of the best fighters in the film. How is Chingachgook going to beat this cunning, underhanded and lethal opponent?
By completely dismantling the guy, that is how.
First, Chingachgook raises his club to bait Magua into blocking his feint attack, rolls under the tomahawk swing, completely bypassing Magua's previously unbreakable guard and nails Magua in the back with spike of his gunstock war club, the painful shock of which causes Magua to drop his knife.
This one move instantly puts Magua up shit creek without a paddle. His defence is broken and he has to immediately counterattack or die. Pity for him that his next tomahawk swing is met with a war club to the elbow, the latter of which gives way to a sickening crunch, causing him to drop his tomahawk.
So Magua is down a right arm and both weapons. That one good arm could still grab a dropped weapon though so Chingachgook goes for that next cause he is having none of Magua's tomfoolery. A sideways club swing to stun Magua in place followed by an overhead swing that dislocates his left arm at the shoulder. Magua is completely screwed and he can only wait for Chingachgook to grant him a coup de grace at the latter's leisure which the old Mohican does so in the most painful manner possible via impalement through the gut.
Seeing Magua finally get his comeuppance in such a way was glorious, especially with fight choreography that made you feel the satisfying weight behind those club swings.
Bonus reasons why I love this fight.
One, Native Americans are cool. They just are, I don't make the rules, that's just how it is.
Two, that magnificent gunstock war club. If you show me a cool, obscure weapon in a film and not only have that weapon present in said movie but actually have the protagonist wielding it then I am going to immediately be a sucker for those fight scenes.

I WILL NOT COUNT VOTES FROM THOSE WHO DO NOT VOTE FOR EACH FIGHT. ALSO IF I SEE OR NOTICE SOME SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY THAT ENTRY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
- 1th Fight
• Kakashi vs Obito From Naruto Shippuden
The fight between Kakashi and Obito is an incredible one. Not only is it packed with emotion, seeing two former best friends, who even tried sacrificing their lives for one another, try to kill each other, but it is also choreographed brilliantly. Pure and epic taijutsu, a hand to hand ninja fight, which is what made us fall in love with the series in the first place. The switching between young and older versions of Obito and Kakashi fighting was a brilliant and extremely well executed idea. Furthermore, the fight is full of themes such as betrayal, regret and redemption. What's there not to like?

"Biasism" Lol
Also tbf, it does say "Vote for your favorite", and it does seem like people are actually voting off the fights they like more or think are better than just popularity and what not (even a Star Wars fight didn't get too many votes despite how popular that franchise is).
Yep, Bride vs 88 also felt like cheating. Zuko vs Azula was at least 1vs1 for the most part, until Zuko got defeated, but I gotta agree with you, my Avatar bias made me vote for that one, even though Gaara vs Lee is really so iconic. Now I regret my vote, lol.
Ironically I was gonna submit that one too! The Kill Bill one lmao. My original choice was gonna be the Bride (or Black Mamba) vs O-Ren (Cottonmouth) lol.
It wasn't in the rules/OG Post so I was wondering what you were talking about it and @GUI ended up saying it was in a later post instead, so I didn't see it and know either ofc, great.
