Okay. This one I can give you a pretty good answer on.
First - they were both prats. The sort of idiots for whom anything more dangerous than string should kept on a high shelf.
Second. The prat with the sword did not have any skill.
A chainsaw is a two handed weapon, it has no real advantages in leverage, and a sever disadvantage in reach. It is slow in defense, and just as slow in offense. A katana is a two handed weapon with a great advantage in both reach, offense and defense. If the person wielding it had even a small modicum of training (and sparring experience), it would be a one sided match. The only advantage the chainsaw has that if it does connect, it creates horrific injury - and it has a certain amount of shock and awe associated with its use.
So what happened? I am going to go with the idiot with the sword engaged the blade of the chainsaw - hollywood stryle; rather than stepping bad and using the reach advantage. It was pushed by the chain which brought the right arm into range of the chain - ending the fight.
