Not necessarily, there are guys who get by on how hard they hit, or the fact that they can pin you down on the matt for 15-25 minutes without a problem. But iff you look at someone with the Muay Thai of an Anderson Silva (A World Muay Thai champion), The Ju jitsu of Bj Penn (The first non-Brazilian to win mundials and fastest person in history to a bjj black belt), The Wrestling of a guy like Jeff Monson (multiple gold medals in submission wrestling) around fighting ability of Fedor Emelianenko (Gold medals in Boxing, Judo, and Combat Sambo), or even the shear genius of planning by a Randy Couture (an olympic wrestler), it's hard to say that they have poor technical ability.
I'm not saying they are all studs at their respective martial art, but the one's that are are usualy quite dominant. If you were to put a street brawler in the octogon he will more than likely get destroyed in no time.
