Should MMA lighten gloves for fly & bw and increase gloves for lhw & hw?

What you say sherdog?

I would be ok with this change.

Makes sense to me. However, don't heavyweights generally have larger gloves and therefore slightly heavier anyways?

In principle, this makes sense.

Doesn't really matter to me. I have no problem with it. The origins of this whole thing was bare knuckle or one boxing glove. I guess the practical point is to slightly reduce facial cuts and broken metacarpals, despite the company line about concussions. So whatever does that.

No 4oz till the end.

 

[HIGH VALUE]

yes or else how can you compare finishes between weight classes

 

[nostradumbass]

Why? The point of MMA gloves is just to protect the knuckles while keeping hand dexterity. Bigger gloves would ruin any grappling.

 

[dildos]

no gloves all weight classes mma and wmma imo.

Lighter than 4oz? They're barely knuckle padding as it is.

They should switch to PrideFC gloves (for all weight classes)

Less, like 2oz for manlets, the same 4oz for normal size/larger people
