Systema combined with mma

[sanshoufist]

As the title states is there a fighter in any of the organizations who specialized in systema and competes mma?

Came across a systema video and the applications of it seems very practical in a fight. Just wondering if it would be effective if you practice systema and applied it in your mma game.

Of course without all the eye poking and groin kicking and what not and all the illegal movements that you get taught in the class to disarm your opponent in real life situations.

What are y'all thoughts about this?

When it comes to MMA / JKD / Free Style, the question has to be, "what are these Systema guys doing that we aren't, would it work, and can we?"

So what is it man?

"That Muay Thai guy is doing teeps and I'm not. I can learn it and it does work, so I'm gonna work on it."

"That wrestler is doing three takedown chains of Single > Double > Low Single while I'm not. It would work but I can't learn it without becoming a good wrestler first. Hespect."

"That Silat guy is throwing people with standing key locks captured off jabs. I could learn it but it won't work - even he can't do it for real."

Bas ruten slapped the taste out of dudes mouthes in the early days of pankration, that's sorta like systema...
