You guys (including Mr. Sklansky) are still focused almost entirely on technique. The fact remains time spent actually *killing* in combat is a valuable skill that cannot be trained for or taught.

You make it sound as if all of these SEALS and the military at a whole are just sitting on a comfortable base somewhere in the States. You remember they are out there getting blown up every single month overseas, right? Or have you not been following that situation? It's completely fair to assume the 'worlds most respected' Seal in terms of hand to hand combat has tasted his share of war time.
Or are the UFC fighters more challenged because they are forced to excercise and trained to fight one another for the amusement of the fans, good money, and notoriety? Sure they push themselves to the limit physically to win matches, but are they shot at routinely? Have they persevered while their buddies were blown to all hell and still performed their duties? This is a fight to the death remember, my money is on the most respected/accomplished Seal in the country.
