New UFC gloves introduced

The ā€œWide-Manā€ glove.

Right!!! So what they did was add more padding in the knuckle area so it will result in less KOs, is that what Iā€™m seeing???

I saw some woman no one ever heard of talking about the new revolutionary glove for 20 minutes then they unveiled it showing zero notable improvement to the main issue every fan and fighter is complaining about with eye pokes

I just donā€™t get it, is it Dana just being that much of a set absolved dick head that heā€™s unwilling to change it because he feels like that would be following another companies idea? Pride, bellator, kotg, everyone has better gloves than the UFCā€¦WAKE THE FUCK UP

They look like they emphasize eye pokes.

I thought Trevor Whitman put a bunch of time in designing his gloves and they were similar to Pride style. I guess Dana has to do his own thingā€¦

Edit: I swear I remember him talking on Rogan about these gloves, but website only has boxing and training gloves.

He did but to use them UFC basically wanted control of his company. They want to monopolize or not have it. Witman wasnā€™t willing to do that obviously.

36 eye pokes every year seems like a very serious problem to me. Like, emergency level problem.

So itā€™s thicker. But the finer parts look the same

New one looks much more slim IMO. Curious to see how it impacts submission grappling and if it actually reduces eye pokes.

Chandler gave a decent look at them the other day too.
