Snake never took Volgin to the floor easily...Volgin's first fight with Naked Snake ended with Snake getting the hell beaten out of him by Volgin who was doing so with ease.
Their actual fight in the Shagohod hangar ended midway with both men on their knees. The conclusion was Volgin on his face and Snake stumbling away, bent over in pain. Volgin proceeded to get up, cough up some blood and get in the Shagohod.
So, both he and Snake got up and ran away.
And I don't use game mechanics because it's absurd. (see the perpetual "why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris?" argument) People in gameplay are shot all the time yet in cinematics bullets are a serious threat to their lives. This is true for both MGS and FF.
