I don't think there was much of a dogfight. The Floggers made some aggressive moves towards the Tomcats and got their asses handed to them for it curtesy of a couple of AIM-7's.

I stumbled across this interesting article today that explains more of what's going on in the cockpit of the lead aircraft during that video:
http://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/this-libyan-mig-shootdown-by-f-14s-was-both-heroic-and-gooned-up
One thing I didn't realize when I watched the video originally is that it's the RIO (backseater) who's doing most of the talking.

Wow, I did not know the RIO or "backseater" had the capability, let alone the authority, to launch a missile.
I thought that was the sole responsibility of the pilot.
