* This occurred in the backstory of the Creator/DavidDrake - Eric Flint Literature/BelisariusSeries. Raghunath Rao and Rana Sanga fought a famous single combat, with their respective armies watching, that lasted for hours, both of them [[CombatBreakdown losing their weapons]] and wrestling in the course of it. As an eyewitness reported:
-->"By the end of the day, both men were too weak and exhausted to lift an arm, or even stand. So they lay down side by side and continued their combat with words.... Sanga ... swears he would rather fight a tiger with his own teeth than face Rao again on the field of philosophy."
* The Ur-Example is ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'', between Gilgamesh and Enkidu, who fight fiercely when they first meet until they collapse exhausted next to each other and become bosom friends afterward in appreciation of each other's strength.

[[folder: Live Action TV]]
* ''Series/{{V 1983}}'': Donovan didn't like Tyler, and Tyler didn't like Donovan. Things eventually come to a head in the last episode of the series where the two of them finally get into a fistfight. They manage to beat the snot out of each other with the result that both wind up lying on the ground next to one another. Somehow this generates respect for each other in the process.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "Shore Leave". While exploring an alien planet Captain Kirk meets Finnegan, an upperclassman who tormented him at Starfleet Academy. Finnegan taunts Kirk into a prolonged fight, which ends with both of them too tired to continue. It's later revealed that Finnegan was a robot created based on Kirk's memories.
* In ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Family", Picard comes home to the family vineyard to see his older brother, with whom there is a great deal of bad history and mutual resentment. Towards the end of the episode they end up coming to blows, eventually stopping to laugh at themselves while they lie in the mud. And then everything Jean-Luc has been bottling up since being freed from the Borg Collective finally comes out, and he breaks down and cries [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther while his brother does his best to comfort him]], and then in the next scene they're back indoors getting roaring drunk together. It's one of the most touching moments in the series.
%%* Happens in the ''Series/QuantumLeap'' episode "A Single Drop of Rain" between Sam and the brother of the man Sam leapt into. '''Administrivia/ZeroContextExample'''

[[folder: Visual Novels]]
* Discussed and parodied in ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All]]'', when Wendy Oldbag is telling Phoenix how her latest celebrity crush supposedly made friends with a bear after fighting it to a standstill.
-->'''Oldbag:''' Look, it's just like in those young people's dramas. I can see those two tuckered out, down by a river going, "Heh... You... You sure can fight..." "You too, bub. You too."
