Yeah, the fight was not really impressive, but I can see some logic to it. Technically, Jigen-Iishiki defeated Naruto and Sasuke through the use of the raw speed and strength. In other words, these stats of his seem way superior to both. And, as we remember, that is the only way to fight an Ootsutsuki, with their ninjutsu-absorption capabilities. It is kinda comparable with the fight against Momoshiki in the anime, when Momoshiki got Kinshiki-absorption powerup and whooped the floor with Naruto and Sasuke at first. However, in this case, Iishiki both truimped over their empowered forms and took them down immediately without giving them any time to adjust. Also, as the people have noticed, Momoshiki didn't have info on their abilities and was constantly caught off guard, while Jigen seems to know awfully a lot about the powers of both. Perhaps, only Amenotejikara could surprise him, but as we know, that's a wildcard jutsu in any fight.
