The top SEAL may have killed many men himself, but very very few of those kills will be weaponless hand to hand combat.

Even fewer of those will be against a highly-skilled hand-to-hand combat specialist. And even fewer of those will be in a situation where the SEAL didn't have the advantage of surprise.
And yes, SEALS often work in conditions that are potentially life-threatening. However, its extremely unlikely that any particular SEAL has been in on a particular mission where his expected likelyhood of dying (going into the mission) is as high as it would be in this case. In this case, I doubt the SEAL will ever find himself much more than a 55-45 favorite. How many missions are SEALS deployed with those kind of odds?
PS: I'm talking out of my ass here, so I'm more than happy to see any argument to the contrary.
