That was probably too long. They could have titled it "Confucius vs Socrates", but that didn't really fit in with the structure. I think the main reason they didn't do it that way is so they could argue at the end. It might be muddled if back-ups started arguing with each other. Hopefully, it can remain a unique battle.

I really hope they can get through Season 5 without one of these kind of battles. Maybe then it would just be forgotten like the Elves from Santa vs Moses. (You don't see people suggesting that Zulu warriors should have their own verses).

One thing I notice about ERB suggestions is that they are highly reactive. Especially among casual fans. When they do Grimes vs White, the fans start suggesting more TV characters. When ERB uses movie characters, movie suggestions become more popular.
