Has anyone in MMA ever discussed it as a possibility? (accusations even?)
Of course one of the most famous instances was Antonio Margarito and his people getting busted by Shane Mosley's trainer... and he turned out to not be quite as tough as some thought without it.
But is this even on the radar in the UFC/other MMA orgs? Are opposing corner men allowed to be present while hands are wrapped? It don't recall ever hearing that they're allowed to. Does someone else inspect the wraps with Plaster of Paris being one of the concerns?
I can't imagine that it wouldn't provide an advantage in MMA if it can make a big difference in boxing gloves.
