In this tournament it was 4 fights over 2 nights for the finalists. The original UFC fights were tournaments in the same vein, except that they fought the entire tournament in one evening. I think splitting it up over 2 days would be more challenging, as the lactic acid sets in in your muscles overnight. You would wake up bruised and sore and with no adrenaline whatsoever. I think they split it up in this movie to help develop the plot.
Also, nowadays fights are heavily regulated and I don't think that you would ever see a tournament like this. Also, the purse would have to be worth a whole lot more than $5 million.
