Who won the fight isn't really the point. Arima needed to push Kaneki to the point where he could take on the mantle of OEK. That meant tearing him apart physically and mentally until he got over the wall of idol worship he had for Arima and could devise a plan to beat him. Once he did that, Arima was perfectly happy to lose and die.
