This is not a bug. Your bare fists are not used as a sub-weapon. Mixed Martial Arts only allows you to use Fist skills without another valid weapon equipped, aside from giving you access to the basic unarmed attack.
I would also rather not change it because I don't want to see people doing Roundtrip with their bare fists.
