It's to do with visual style but also with logistics when filming. It's more manageable if you have stuntmen working in pairs.

Me and a friend were hired as extras for a big Hollywood film and saw some of this stuff.

I remember they had to cut at one point though because another extra thought it was just a big free-for-all and decked one of the stunt guys with a giant rubber crucifix.
