It doesn't sound like it should be, but when the adrenaline is flowing, and the unexpected happens, the amount of time you spend visualizing is going to go down.

You are correct in pointing out that visualization is a very powerful technique. Sport psychologists teach it to athletes on the highest levels. However, it's most often a design utilized before the action begins. For example: a boxer might try to see his strategy working before he walks in the ring, a running back may "see" himself running for a touchdown before the ball is snapped.
Once the action happens, however, it's time to allow the trained habits to take over. There's no time for visualization "in the heat of the moment."

well maybe you can relate to this PS1,
back when
UFC just started,
I use to have competitions against other styles at a local
univ. gymnasium.
back when I didn't know much,
I recall getting the mount on some unfortunate guys
that were always bigger, stronger,
and to not panic, I would visualize Royce Gracie,
I could see Royce taking a breath as he mounted
Art Jimmerson
I would also do this when I would get the clinch,
during the storm, I can't see, everything is so fast,
I just don't want to get hit, I imagine the way Royce
clinched up his opponents, and before I knew it,
I'm sweeping the leg.
maybe you guys don't,
but I for sure visualize a lot, even during the match.
And I definitely imagine breaking bones and joints
when I land the submission on a bad person of course

I visualize all of the time, but never during an activity like sparring. Once you start to visualize how to counter that round kick, you get hit with a front kick.
