Korbul goes for Cain, and while Cain is fighting for his life, Jurgen tells him he can't interfere or the other orks will get involved (as an intervention from the nobs would be seen as telling the boss he's too weak to handle the threat).

* In ''[[Creator/IDWPublishing IDW's]]'' original Transformers continuity, Optimus Prime and a captive Megatron reminisced about the many times they'd personally fought during their ForeverWar. Megatron brings up the first time they ever fought as the leaders of their respective factions: when they encountered each other atop Sherma Bridge. He fondly recalls that both sides stopped fighting to watch them fight.
** Optimus points out he has less fond memories of that encounter: it ended with Megatron throwing him off the bridge (with him needing several months worth of repairs) and the campaign an Autobot defeat with 5000 dead.

* The ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' series has made a few attempts at these:
** In Dynasty Warriors 5, if challenged by an enemy general, the player has the choice of accepting or refusing the duel. If accepted, both characters are moved to what resembles a professional wrestling cage to fight things out. The system was considered a ScrappyMechanic for breaking the flow of a battle.
** Dynasty Warriors 6 had a system where an enemy general could declare a challenge and all nearby {{Mook}}s would stop fighting to form a makeshift "ring" around the combatants, even stabbing or poking at a combatant who came too close to them. While better received than the one in 5, it was discarded for the next game because it was entirely possible for a player on a powerful enough horse (like Red Hare) to just plow through the challenging general and the soldiers trying to form a ring and be long gone before the general had even finished talking.

* During the [[UsefulNotes/ThreeKingdomsShuWeiWu Three Kingdoms era]] (but before the Three Kingdoms actually existed), southern warlord Sun Ce encountered enemy general Taishi Ci while on a hunting expedition. Both were accompanied by small groups of bodyguards, but when Sun and Taishi began grappling with each other one-on-one both sides backed off. The duel was indecisive as Sun's other men came rushing when they heard the commotion, but Sun managed to grab Taishi's personal weapon while Taishi got away with Sun's helmet. Taishi would later use the helmet to taunt Sun's forces, having his men point at the helmet and go, "Sun Ce's head is already here!"
** There was a practical reason for their bodyguards not interfering: not only were both men particularly known for their physical prowess, it was too risky to get involved for fear of accidentally wounding their own superior.
