I would say that someone within the ranking range of 10-15, coupled with SOF training and deployment would kill _anyone_ given the rules of this challenge.

I can certainly understand the logic being said here. As myself and others have discussed, H2H combat is very different from being in an enviroment governed by rules. I know that in my limited MMA training, I discovered that even when simulating a "realworld" situation that often times someone who was superior to me in capability/size would still allow me the oppurtunity to get close enough to his throat or other vital area with my mouth to where I'd be able to icapaciatate through a bite in which I'd rip out an artery or other similar critical component of his body (this is just one example).
Point being that even if the MMAer only had a marginal to somewhat decent skill advantage over the SEAL, I believe that the SEAL would have a very strong chance of coming out the victor due to the mental advantage that I believe he'd posses. However, I don't see this being the case. If it's an active duty operator, it's hard enough between real-world operational commitments, training/MQT reqs, and personal issues which have to be taken care of to stay on top of everything, much less being able to train to the level of a world-class MMAer.
Now if we change the situation and say something to the extent of the two fighters are placed "X miles" apart on an island and are allowed to use their enviroment in any way to kill the other, then let's just say that my vote is no longer for the MMAer.
