So yes, it is possible, but I saw that once in 24 years of RQ.
Most of the fight I saw were less than 10 MR.
A few were between 10 and 20 (perhaps 1 in 10).
1 was above 20 MR (and far above, perhaps 50, I don't remember exactly).

That matches up fairly closely to my experiences with RQ3, too. Most fights were short and brutal, and smart players tired to keep around 5-10FP to avoid fatigue penalties. One guy figured out that one of the advantages of Spells like Strength and Vigor in a battle was the extra FP points. Vigor 3 and you were usually convered for the battle.
Most of my long battles in RQ3 were along the lines of skirmishes and sitautions where one side had a defible position and the attackers would start an attack, pick off a couple of guards, then fall back behind cover and rest/regroup.
In my eperience, if someone was constantly deep into the negative FPs he was usally just carrying around too much crap to fight. Or he had really poor stats. We had one guy with a 5 STR and 7 CON once. He usually had FP problems (he was the guy who figured out the Vigor 3 trick).
