Is it a correct sentence?

Use "them" instead of "their bodies".

It would be bizarre to say the vague oozing out of their bodies. Why wouldn't you be a little more precise? When would you say this weird sentence?

Two guys were fighting and the blood was oozing out from one of them. Don't I need to use the word "Body" here?

Is it correct now?

Two guys were fighting, and one of them was bleeding.

Well done for putting an article in front of that noun. Unfortunately, in this case, it was wrong. The phrase "in front of" doesn't take an article.
