I wouldn't be too sure of that. What are you basing your assessment on?

Your skill level has to be substantially higher than your opponent to make things look clinical when your opponent is trying to beat you.

One that comes to mind was the fight between Georges Saint-Pierre and Dan Hardy earlier this year. You might be able to find it online. Total domination, but even in that fight GSP couldn't finish Hardy.
