Does Fighter use a well-known chord progression?

Yes! In E minor: The descending minor / lament progression (i → VII → VI → V) shows up in the bridge at 2:32 and 2:40. A descending staircase of chords, with the last step pulling hard back toward the start. The minor subtonic shuttle (VII → i) shows up in the verse at 0:22 and 0:28. A minor chord and the major chord just below it keep the loop circling rather than settling.
