realistic recovery time after a fight

I'm wondering, how realistic is the recovery time after a fight as portrayed in this film? Particularly in a real MMA-rules fight in which most types of strikes are allowed. If the face gets all cut up does it heal in a week? If one breaks a jaw or a nose does it heal in a week? If one gets eye gouged does it heal in a week? I am naive and have no idea. Thoughts please.

depends on how bad the fight is, but it is pretty realistic. UFC and Pride used to be karate kid style tournaments where you would have to fight multiple times a night
