Just wondering if having larger hands is an advantage when it comes to striking, like does it do more damage?
Does having big hands have any advantage in striking?

well from a physics point of view, force = mass x acceleration
if we assume the speed of every fighter's punch is constant, then yes bigger hands = more force

Concentrated force is another issue, however. The force of a punch comes from the body, not the hand.
A small fist would concentrate that force to a tighter area, hitting someone "on the button" would deliver more force per square inch to "the button".
That said, precision punching is nearly impossible, so a bigger hand would be more forgiving but size differential probably isn't statistically significant in either direction.
