Media Islam Makhachev: "New Gloves Are VERY Stiff, Will Cause ALOT More Cuts"

[Black9]

Not the best review from the P4P #1 fighter in UFC.

Is this a plan by Dana to make the fights more bloody/entertaining?

Literally should’ve just adopted Pride gloves. UFC bought them out, use their advantages

Bald goof has too much pride for that

Ba dum tss

 

[Final Say]

TS wrote the title like a TMZ headline and I’m pissed

 

[TheToneZone]

I can see the UFC doing this so they have more bloody images to market to compete with BKFC

Thread title needs MORE CAPS my attention wasn't drawn enough

 

[Alpha_T83]

In B4 Jon Jones starts training his finger strength so he can still open them with the new gloves.

 

[Ozze]

Nor the tweet or TS clickbait title didn't quote Islam saying they are stiffer to prevent open fingers, which is the whole point of the new gloves.

Who knows if they'll cut more. Wait and see. No need to try and be negative about everything.

needs to worry about buzzcut dustin

this is their attempt to replicate that glove now.

It's not great, but it's some forward progress.

I don't think bloody faces is a good look for being on networks like ESPN and expanding into mainstream networks.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Just get rid of gloves
BKUFC

 

[Arm Barbarian]

If Diamond can keep this on the feet for any appreciable time, this might bode well for him.

He has the hands to carve just about anyone in the division up.

Gloves are for pussies

Pussy

 

[Dimbis]

I think those golden gloves will look so ugly.

 

[evergreenrider]

I think those golden gloves will look so ugly.

Soon they'll get rid of belts and give champs diamond encrusted gold gloves

 

[TheToneZone]

Of course it is. The only thing that sells better than violence is sex.

Just because they were used in Pride doesn't mean Pride owned the gloves design or manufacturer. NHL players use a variety of gloves but the NHL doesn't own any of them.
