Is that 'the thing'?The thing is. You actually punch harder WITH the gloves. When your wrists and hands are wrapped and gloved. They are much better at smashing shit without injury. In Bare knuckle. You have to gauge how hard you hit or else you'll shatter your hand on a dudes forehead. No gloves would definitely make it more grappling centric. Who wants to go through life with mangled hands after breaking them so many times?
pass the bong back to bravo and take it down a notch. breathe. relax

I really think this guy has smoked his way into insanity, some of the things he says are just seriously out there.
anyone who says fighters would pick their shots more carefully if there werent any gloves, go watch some 90's wanderlei silva bareknuclke fights...
Rogan has a point.
People would be much more picky with the punches they throw if it was bare knuckle, and everyone would need to have decent boxing form so that they hands won't break.
No more teeing off on foreheads, you would have to make sure you hit the jaw/nose every time.
It could also work to reduce brain damage because people wouldn't be able to tee off on each other carelessly as much, they would always be worried about breaking their wrist/hand.
For anyone who has put MMA gloves on, you would know that its basically like being hit bare knuckle. You can feel the knuckles through the glove almost as if they weren't covered. Absolutely no protection for the person you're hitting, only protection for your wrist/hand so that you don't break it and can hit as hard/careless as you want.
Rogan will always push for things that are more beneficial to Jiu Jitsu than striking.
Removing the gloves is going to make fighters thing twice before putting full power into that punch, and it makes it easier to sneak in that hand under someone's throat.
Next thing you know Rogan will advocate using gis.
Can't like this enough. lol Holy shit.
Yeah I didn't really understand his point ether I guess he was saying that fighters would have to pick their shots very carefully in order to avoid hand breaks.
Doesn't really make much sense to me the sport would definitely change a bit forsure though. Also this still does nothing for the eye poke situation.
