There has been a series of those videos coming out, pre-covid anyway. I believe propelled by the eruption of MMA in China and it's suppression there by the traditional martial arts.
Turns out the winner of these bouts are consistently the ones who train for the ring against actual opponents rather than their rank achieved in their Art.
I'd suggest the same answer applies to the Special Forces versus Martial Artist question. The answer wouldn't be their employed technique, but the effectiveness of their training and it's applicability to the rules, if any, of the fighting arena.
