The thing about metal bat is that in the Virtual Genocide Simulation. The program dictates that he was too heavily damaged to continue fighting, (like how Garou said that multiple bones in Metal Bat's body was broken and he SHOULDNT even be able to stand with how much damage he has taken) and MB just simply reply "If this was a real battle then fighting spirit would've revived me". This guy is the type that you either beat fast or get beaten. While he did fall over flat after his fight with Garou, it was only because he lost his fighting spirit with his sister stopping him from continue fighting. After all Garou did knock MB down and right after that he nearly dealed killing blow to Garou had his sister not stop him.

So no, while I wouldn't say that he can heal, I would say that his FS is powerful enough of a boost/buff that he can just ignore any damages dealt to his body. He's like a cockroach that doesn't die with small hits and require extreme damage to take him out. And that's hard since Elder Centipede launching him across the city at a MASSIVE HEIGHT didn't even beat the guy down.

Also spoiler

But in the Web Comic, Metal Bat was seen being angry at a dragon level for taking up his time. This also means that the dude is able to take out Dragon Level threat no problem.
