Will they still use different colours for championship fights and dwcs ?

 

[Klippy]

I guess the fighters were complaining about it.

lol smooth.

Dana didn’t like that 10% drop-off in KO’s

The JBG’s may have had a hand in it too I suppose

How would you all design the gloves to stop glove grabbing and eye pokes?

The only thing I could think of would be to partially web the gloving at the proximal fingers so they could still grapple but not extend the digits out.

For the wrist, perhaps have some sort of contact taping that showed when finger pressure was applied from the inside and points could be deducted if fighters complained?

No idea how to stop that from a physical mechanics perspective, but it really spoils the mood of the fight when you see guys doing that shit.

The issue is these new gloves have not stopped eyepokes at all, they are happening in every UFC event, since the new gloves came in we've had plenty of eyepokes in every event, it just seems the same to me, not less and not more, just the same.

I wonder if they will keep the Gold color for title fights or not.

This stubborn SOB is still going to ignore the Pride gloves they actually own the rights to use.

Dana found a pallet of the old gloves in the Performance Institute basement

Jon - I wanna juice and I wanna eye poke. Dana - no worries, I got you

Forget gloves, there is a simple solution to the eyepokes. Start taking points and they will stop happening. You got guys fighting with their fingers outstretched at their opponents eyes because they know there are no repercussions. The rules already allow for taking a point but the refs are stubborn and refuse to change.

I guess he didn't give a shit. And then Jon Jones complained about it.
