Does anyone know what the hell Joe is talking about?

[Mynameisjeff]

I also enjoy smoking weed while sleep deprived

 

[Mynameisjeff]

Yes and it absolutely affects grappling. Even the ones Bruce Lee wore

Those were hockey gloves lol

Lol ppl come on. Joe Rogan was talking that in his podcast with Jiri Prochakza... He was saying some things that he knew didn't make sense only to see how Jiri would counter that. He was trying, in a very good and respectful way, actually, to come up with points he didn't necessarily think made much sense... And he was trying to make those points convincing so the Jiri podcast would flow even better, since Jiri's logic is funny and at the same time very sensible.

Basically, a way to make Jiri Prochazka to genuinely speak more about his fighting ideas, fighting vision in a..... Podcast like way, in which you aren't being asked like in an interview, but having a conversation with a friend trying to convince him that this isn't so much sensible, which is more natural, flows more naturally...

Silly ppl take everything so literally these days.....

 

[Spam On Rye]

at first when I saw your post I was like 'ahhh, he's saying Joe is baked' lol

then realised you meant these were the gloves he was suggesting



So I got two laughs out of it lol

Lol that's good too

 

[Objectively Correct]

whos joe

 

[Mikeydontgiva]

Thought he was big on trevor wittmans gloves/ONX

 

[FilipEmoFights]

They should make a glove that has like a mitten style finger cover at the fingertips but with the palm still exposed and allows the hand to bend. Basically the same UFC glove but it extends to cover over the finger tips.

he has been talking about gloves with leather coverings on the fingertips for a while, it wasnt only in the Jiri one.

Joe is just getting old lol

At one point last year he was asked about the slant walled pits used in karate combat and the Craig Jones Invitational jiu jitsu tournament and explained that he'd prefer to see mma and jiu jitsu competition on an infinite basketball court with no out of bounds.

 

[Cooliox]

Too much drugs over too many years…

He doesn’t realize the difference, since the deterioration is very gradual over many years… but sober people around him can tell that his brains are fried

There is a simple solution that was created before I even started watching the sport. PRIDE gloves keep the fingers curled down so moments like Jon/more recently Song can't stick their fingers out when measuring distance.

While grappling, there is no reason to ever have your fingers stretched all the way out, anyone saying "blade the hand to lock the choke" is a noob. While striking, same thing, no reason to ever have your fingers out unless you're fishing for an "accidental" poke.

PRIDE GLOVES OR BUST

If you cover the fingertips and limit the individual motion of the fingers doesn't that have a large impact on grappling? I'm not a grappler but it seems like trying to grapple with a claw instead of individual digits would be quite a hindrance

 

[whocares]

Rogan is on a speedrun to becoming Joe Biden

 

[Dr. Rose]

Yes and it absolutely affects grappling. Even the ones Bruce Lee wore

all gloves affect grappling

 

[Noleggeisha]

No doubt would impact grappling and wrestling.

yeah not sure why that design was never used... i get why they might have delayed when jones was fighting more often, but since his semi-retirement it should be a non-issue

 

[McSpikes]

Rules just need to be inforced. There’s no reason to be reaching out with your fingers pointing at all. The gloves aren’t the problem

 

[biscuitsbrah]

I don’t think latex gloves change things that much. Probably better grip

 

[spinup]

Joe probably thinks of something like mma training gloves. The idea is that the 4 fingers are covered by a single piece so one finger cannot get into an eye socket. That makes sense.

There are plenty of reasons to open your hands that can lead to an eye poke. Like whe you try to grab the wrist, to get in a thai clinch, to parry a punch or to post with your palm.


Also the current gloves make things worse because they block the wrist and finger extensions.
The refs always say to the figters to keep their fingers pointed upward if their hands are open. But the gloves make it very difficult.

I think that’s very much true. They always say to keep your fingers pointed upwards or to make a fist, but try that with handwraps and gloves on (not the fist making).

I hate eyepokes and I’m sure fighters hate them even more. Losing a fight because of a poke? Sucks. Losing an eye?



Not even JBG wants that.

They could fix pretty much all of those problems with a new gloves design, like Wittman’s gloves. He just wanted money and U FIGHT CHEAP doesn’t want to pay. It seems they can’t figure it out themselves? I dunno
