A bad assumption that many make.
Street fighters rarely have to deal with people equal to or greater than their own skill.
Kind of the point no?
To have or develop a skill that the other person does not have or cannot deal with.
On the other hand those who test their skills in a ring have to have skills that work against those of equal or greater skill.

You still have to develop that technique.
You hope you never have to use your finish moves in your life time. You still have to develop some finish moves if you have to use it to save your life or your family members life. This way of thinking can make your CMA training to be real.
Here are 2 clips to show that I'm not just talking. I do train those finish moves myself.

Fred Dahr Texas Defense Attorney wrote:There are important limitations to this right to self-defense:
• The person must not be the aggressor in the confrontation. In other words, Person A cannot attack Person B and then claim self-defense when he kills Person B when Person B responds with violence (unless Person B responds with deadly force);
• The person cannot claim self-defense where the other person only engaged in verbal provocation. This means a defendant cannot punch or batter a person who simply hurls insults at the person.
• The force used must be proportionate and reasonable under the circumstances. A person is not entitled to claim self-defense if he or she stabs an attacker multiple times with a knife when the other person simply punched the person.
• Deadly force is only authorized when deadly force is threatened against the person, when used to prevent the imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated robbery, or when used against a person who unlawfully and with force enters your home, your vehicle, or your place of work.
The defendant must have a reasonable belief that the use of force – as well as the particular level of force used – is warranted and justified under the circumstances. This is judged on an objective level. If a reasonable person in the same situation would not have felt imminently threatened, or that the use of deadly force was called for (for instance), then the defendant may not escape criminal liability by claiming self-defense. It is immaterial what the defendant actually believed.

But details vary. Don’t punch, it won’t work.
