Sucker punch fails, aggressor kicked in groin
Man on phone fails to read a high risk of sucker punch or simply is unsure about how to respond to the risk.
The aggressor finally attempts a very poor sucker punch and the other man responds with a kick to the groin followed by punches which knock out the aggressor.
Something to note here is that unlike in the movies, the aggressor did not crumple to the ground once kicked in the groin, in fact he barely flinched at this. Closed fist punches to the head finished the fight which were set up by the groin kick.

MMA sucker punch – before fight has started
This video demonstrates one of the core differences between combat sports and street violence – in a street fight, there is usually no agreement between parties as to when the fight will start.

This MMA fight might have lasted multiple rounds, but a sucker punch ended it before the other fighter knew what was happening.

Slam while applying submission from ground
MMA fighter attempts triangle choke from bottom ground position. His opponent raises and slams him into the floor, resulting in a knockout. This is exceptionally dangerous and would most likely result in death on a hard surface.
This can be avoided by using techniques which break the posture of the person attempting the slam and bring them back to the ground, or by abandoning the technique as below. The slam is attempted by the same MMA fighter as the above video:
