I don't know much about systema but I know their strikes hurt more than conventional striking to the body. Im guessing there are no systema fighters in MMA because they use gloves. I still think gloves should be optional because as I see it I have more chance to win a larger opponent. When I bare knuckle boxed a guy 5 inches taller than me, as he would try and hit me I punched his wrists and forearms away cause I could'nt reach his face, and he gave up cause of the pain in his forearms. So yea, bareknuckle all the way.

Also there is a peculiar punch my cousin said they teach in the russian military. When punching twist your wrist towards yourself until you cant (kind of like you're pouring liquid out of a cup) and hit with the knuckles that way. And twist all the way so you can hit with the bottom three knuckles (well, now top three).
