I really hope the UFC didn't spend that much on these new gloves.

They were supposed to help with the eyepokes, first fight in and we have several eyepokes.

Fighters were not supposed to be able to grab the inside of the glove, first championship fight and Islam grabs the inside of Dustin's gloves.

They were also supposed to help with cuts from the fabric of the gloves stiking out, this one I'm not 100% sure, would have to rewatch it, it might had been a full punch but the first cut Islam got I swear it looked like a the side of Dustin's fist is what made the contact, cutting islam with the fabric of the glove, again I might be wrong on this one, haven't rewatched the fight.

So it seems they were a complete bust, I don't really know the legallity of the Pride gloves, if the UFC owns the design or there was some fuckery with them too from the illegal contracts, but its pretty clear they are still the superior design all these years later but the UFC refuses to acknowledge it, maybe Dana can't accept that a former competitor did something better than them?

Meh, they might be great but the people hyping them up on Rogan are people who literary invested in them so you have to take it with a grain of salt, but they do look like a better option than this crap.

The problem iirc is that the UFC wants to own them but Trevor doesn't want to sell them the design just licence it to them.

It's going to happen with an open glove no matter what. I don't understand why they don't just upgrade the foul to an automatic point deduction and a DQ for a 2nd offense. It'll fighters make more conscious about it when it affects wins and losses and ultimately their pockets.

 

[Harlekin]

If they go from 2-3 free eyepokes down to 1 free eyepoke.
That would already be an improvement and a sad one as well.

Pretty sure that if the ufc wanted they could come with a number that'll make Wittman change his mind, or find a 50/50 split owning solution ...

But no, they barely redesign their old shitty gloves that created problems to fighters for decades, ending with barely different new ones with the same problems.

As others said they are supposed to own pride no ? Pride gloves are unanimously considered better ... Pretty sure they don't use those cuse "ufc better bro" ...

They are just dumb, hard-headed and greedy.

I noticed that Dustin's punches didn't land as clean or crisp as usual. Neither did Strickland's. I assume they did extensive testing with these gloves, but certain fighters seemed off while using them.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

I am pretty sure there was only eyepokes in one fight so...

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

Aww poor UFC

 

[ExitLUPin]

Did they put cushion padding on the gloves or what?

80% decision rate so far.

Julian Marques and Zachary Reese fighting next. 100% finish rate combined between the 2. If this shit goes to decision they gotta can these dumbass gloves immediately.
