It looks like they are cheating but making it more realistic since they didn't do a 10 second or less fight. Cheaters be trying new ways to not get caught.
There's zero chance that's not a cheater. Hope you reported them.
I had one that won the first fight fair and then did a pretty obvious cheat for the second hoping I wouldn’t notice. Genuinely haven’t seen many at all but thought that was a novel way of trying it.
Reported of course.

Statistically speaking there's a good number of mod v mod/ pauser v pauser bg action going on at any one time, and the saddest part is we're not likely to see the results of these encounters posted for the gen pop to view.
