Dana's ego.
Joe hogan agrees 
They weren't zuffa's idea so they aren't good enough. 
Nexuscrawlers - They weren't zuffa's idea so they aren't good enough.That's some backwards thinkin and we cAnt have that type philosophy when it comes to fighters safety. They are playin with fire.
Why doesn't the UFC use Pride Gloves???
Because they are blue and have PRIDE printed on them.
It's too late now. At this point if Dana makes the change he would be following his nemesis. Should have done it first when he had the chance. "Simpsons did it!"
Letibleu -You can fuck right off.Why doesn't the UFC use Pride Gloves???

Lux Fixxins - So.... No stats then, OP?Ain't nobody got time for that. Look for it yourself bud, the truth is out there.
xXJayRobXx - It's too late now. At this point if Dana makes the change he would be following his nemesis. Should have done it first when he had the chance. "Simpsons did it!"I agree. There's no way he would do it now regardless of the safety factor. But the UFC has had more than enough time to make the change before Bellator beat them to it. Fuck 'em.
Publicnoose's sweaty power bottom - It's been proven statistically that pride gloves were superior when it comes to safety for the fighters. Less broken hands , less eye pokes...Dana's eggo
Zuffa owns pride so why don't they just use their gloves ? What's the deal ? Why even try to emulate the old gloves, just use them stupids. Too much pride ?

Thought i remembered when watching all the Prides years ago, less eye pokes, but constantly stopping action to fix gloves where they come off or fingers slip out
anonymousone - Thought i remembered when watching all the Prides years ago, less eye pokes, but constantly stopping action to fix gloves where they come off or fingers slip outIs rather the fight stopped because if a quick adjustment where the fighters stay in position compared to stopping the action and possibly taking a point
Soup and Beer -I know right. Changing the gloves has been thrown at Dana many times. He's even addressed it in some post fight scrums.xXJayRobXx - It's too late now.

I mean fuck it, its only the health and safety of the best MMA fighters in world and the entertainment of the fans that will suffer the consequences of the bald fathers choice not to innovate NorthAmerican MMA by copying Japan's innovation.

Hubris..
They probably want to come up with something revolutionary of their own so that it doesn't look like a 'me too' move.
Aren't they working on something anyway? No promoter wants broken hands, it's bad for business.
Bring over the card system while we are at it too.
