8) UFC guy vs Martial Artist
I think the only difference between many UFC fighters and martial artists is the amount of time they spend training. UFC fighters have no life outside of fighting, so they win through a sheer training advantage.

This is so funny, it so depends on what kind of martial artist. A UFC fighter trains to win UFC events never trains to win fights to the death, where many martial artist do train for life and death situations. So funny...
You guys watch way to much TV.

You obviously know nothing about the mix of martial arts used in MMA. 100% of it is completely applicable to a fight to the death, and this mix has already been shown to dominate over any individual martial arts. Those submissions aren't for pain, they do real damage if nobody taps out. In fact, some of them are quite painless.
How do the martial artists you speak of train to fight to the death? Do they actually practice fighting to the death? No, they don't. UFC is the closest you can have to a fight to the death, and that is exactly what they train for, can experiment to find the best martial arts, refine their techniques, etc. The mix of martial arts a UFC fighter possesses is the mix that is most effective and practical.
The reason there's specific competitions for specific martial arts with specific rules is because they are too one dimensional to last in a no holds barred setting. They are an art, or a sport, but they are not practical fighting.
It's funny that you mention watching too much TV, as it is clear to anyone with real knowledge of this subject that that must be where you got most of your information from. Ninjas, Kung Fu masters, etc wouldn't stand a lick of a chance against a UFC champion. You also clearly don't understand the dominance of grappling. This has been showed in the history of (real) fighting over and over again.
