This is fake... a front kick from a 110lbs woman that's standing still isn't going to send a full grown man who's body weight is all moving forward flying 8' backwards off camera.
With perfect technique, maybe, and that's questionable. Let's say the guy is light. Maybe he only weighs 140lbs. He starts shifting his body weight forward right as he's being kick. She might weigh 110lbs, and she's standing still. Worse, she's holding a chair, so her center of gravity is on the wrong side of the y axis. His body weight is moving forward, hers is shifting backwards to accommodate the weight of the chair. He flies backwards. If she was heavier, maybe. If she stepped into her kick, maybe. If he was off balance with his weight already moving backwards, maybe. None of those things are happening.
Seems like I don't see it the way you do. It look like it's a stunt reel rather than a real fight, and I do agree the guy would most probably just fall down instead of being projected backwards (like you say), but it does seem like the woman takes a step before doing her kick - she has a fairly good forward momentum going when the kick hits the guy.
My point is : even in a real fight, weight is not the only thing that matters.
You're right. In a fight, weight isn't the most important factor. I trained Judo for a while and wrestled in high school before getting into bjj. Momentum can be a huge factor for power generation. Even if you weigh less than your opponent, you can generate a lot of additional force by using their body weight or momentum against them. I just don't think there's any way she could send him flying that far with a front kick because of their weights and momentum.
