Well, in his one previous fight (against Ichigo; Yamamoto wasn't really a "fight") we did see that he can be just as fallible and "oh crap" as any other combatant. It's primarily because he'd been actively avoiding direct combat up until this point that he seemed so above it all, but as soon as he gets into a battle with someone of equal power, he gets thrown around like a Looney Tunes character. It is glorious.
