Nah, the fight definitely happened. Port and Oobleck actually announced that Yang was the winner, people were cheering, Blake congratulated her, the scoreboard clearly showed Merc at 0% and Yang at 16%.

If Yang attacked Mercury before the fight started, things wouldn't have been so bad, but since she attacked him after she had already won the battle

1. That made it look like she has horrible sportsmanship. Not just poor sportsmanship - horrible, terrible, disgusting sportsmanship. "I win! *Kicks the loser while he's down*"

2. He was reduced to 0% Aura because of the fight, which meant that he had nothing to protect him from injury. Shooting a man while his shields are down? That's just cruel, especially if she really did break one of his bones.
