BLAF says they spend 20 million a year on fighter safety but

It’s definitely the glove you have pictured above. I did check Trevor’s website. It looks he’s having an issue keeping inventory. All he has listed are 12 oz sparring gloves.

I honestly think they are stuck in a Century contract or something… or they are getting a LOT of money from century… cause they clearly don’t care about the gloves or eye pokes.

I wish @JohnMorganMMA would ask the Bald Father!

Ask Dana when the contract with Century is up. Then when he says he doesn’t know… ask him to find out!

Thanks @JohnMorganMMA !

  1. We need confirmation from Eagle FC that they are using it. I suspect they are because of the connection between Whitman and the promotions but someone has to know more.

  2. Yes, it’s been that way for a while.

  3. The UFC needs to change it gloves.

The PI is a big part of that. It’s free for fighters to train there. As well as get nutrition plans and meals. Recovery, rehab etc.

As I understand it they are in a contract with Century, (Also known as a sh1t manufacturer of MA equipment) but that there is a new contract on the horizon.

In ANY case, the UFC could demand better materials and chooses not to.

From the JRE interview with Wittman he approached Dana about using his gloves but WME wanted exclusive license to use them and become partners. Wittman said, no. If it was up to Dana I imagine he would do it.

I saw the interview. I was very impressed when Justin dropped the ball on the material to show it’s absorbing properties.

Dana could at least upgrade the gloves with SOMETHING new and better. The fact that he won’t shows the UFC doesn’t care about this matter.

They could show they are working to address CTE issues, addressing the issues around closing the hands or the eye pokes, or something.

Nope.

Pretty cool video of Rashad talking about them on JRE. He doesn’t say Eagle FC but he says these are the competition gloves. Rashad managed by Ali so it makes sense.

I havent read the whole thread so i beg your pardon for my ignorance, but arent the glove specs under the purview of the relevant athletic commission?

The AC simply inspects and then approves.

It’s a rubber stamp.

Just read the lastest post from the ONX Instagram page. Looks like Trevor doesn’t have his production set up to scale. I would imagine he’s now just doing everything he can to get gloves for fighters right now.

Looks like some customers paid in advance and still haven’t received all of their gear.

Edit- I recall someone posted a link in this thread or another back in February and people complained how expensive they were.

Not sure those are the Whitman gloves.

Trevor needs to work his own shit out. Stop trying to get Dana to bankroll Trevor’s pet project.

Eagle FC is not using Trevors glove. I have a few pairs they are unbranded , made in Pakistan. but they are made exactly like the Fuji style (PFL and WSOF)

These are two right hands. I messed up when taking the photos before putting them back

I will take more photos next time I’m pull them out.

But they are unbranded and kind of inconsistent. I got 4 pairs total. Logos slightly off, sizing slightly off, sizing tags are inconsistent (some say made in Pakistan, some don’t) but they came from someone that works at Eagle, he got them from the extra bin of official fight gloves for the Sanchez vs Lee event.
