This is the point where you go totally wrong. UFC is a sport, just like box etc when you have to follow the rules. While Systema and Aikido are made not for a sparring. They made for self defense and also used for police and military needs. Police officers don't learn box, because they are not going for boxing with a bad guy. They don't have to win him in 8th round. They have to immobilize him as fast as possible.
It's like to compare sprinters vs stayers. UFC fighters are stayers - they are trained to stand for many rounds, they have a good tactical thinking because a fight is like a chess game for them. The Systema and Aikido are intended for sprinters who need a fast result only, so they use the methods that are usually forbidden in sport fights and also they use weapons like a knife, a saperka, a pencil or anything else. Even a discharged gun or a rifle is a good weapon. The UFC fighters are not trained for that because all these things are forbidden in sport fights.
E.g. using of
Systema vs a guy with pistol in a confined space:
Watch the video above @ 2:35. The special force officer is a good trained shooter. He knew that the older guy will try to disarm him and he was prepared. And still he was unable to shot. He has pulled the trigger finally... but only when his gun was pointed at himself.
Yet another video:
I don't think this guy has a single chance vs UFC fighter on the ring, but... the UFC fighter would be already 10x times dead in the real life.
