If the skilled fighter was also free to use any tactics he wanted, do you really think you'd have an opportunity to try anything? Like SS said, in a street fight, there's no ref & no taping.
Sure i would.
You are acting like having MMA training makes you some unstoppable force of nature that renders their opponent defenseless.
If some dude went for my arm, neck leg...whatever, I'm capable enough to realize what's going on and defend myself.
A top tier fighter? no, they would fuck me up in a heartbeat. but so would a top boxer, wrestler etc. etc.
how many truly skilled, dangerous MMA are guys are walking around? much less getting into street fights.
I'm sure a lot of them THINK they are, that comes with the territory I've noticed
