If the UFC fighter was the one with the edge in a fight to the death, SEALs would be copying their techniques.

The banned techniques that SEALs employ are designed to be employed against someone who doesn't have extensive training in hand to hand combat. Those moves become relatively useless against someone who knows how to defend themselves.

Also a MMA fighter may not have the necessary training to go for the kill right off the bat, but their sport is tailored to submissions and knockouts. The submission moves if they don't cause a tapout will cause the opponent to be incapacitated or unconcious after which it will be very easy to finish them off.

The MMA fighter isn't trained to deal with techniques that are illegal in MMA, and has a fighting style built on the assumption that his opponent will not employ them. But you do have a good point about the SEALs and I don't know how much either of these variables woudl play out.
