bro im from Germany and I know what ufc is but I didn't know this guy but this video is too good. YT algo just showed it to me randomly and it was worth it!
3:32 was a very good answer, it's mma and not boxing where punches, footworks, and techniques only matters. In mma, fingers are very important for grappling and clinching, and it would be tiring if gloves force you to close your fist and you wanna open it for grappling and defense reasons.
You just need them to have a natural curve to the glove... This was solved years back with the PRIDE gloves and the current RIZIN gloves. You still have access to the fingers but the resting hand is curved in slightly.
@@BigMacSoss lol, the padding in mma gloves are hard and you can't even block punches properly, it's even sturdy when it's new and you don't use it often
The current UFC gloves are not ideal as they don't allow the hands to naturally relax into a shape that won't stab eyes.. This design is problematic because it leads to fatigue, making it difficult for fighters to strike effectively throughout the bout. Gaetje spoke up on this as well. He complained about forearm fatigue when fighting with the current gloves, but if you relax your hands and you have a long guard with what we have you're going to skewer faces.
Surprised UFC didn't just ban eyepokes. Why change the gloves and simply appear to be doing something about the problem. Is this another trick in sport to keep proper boxers out?
@@Nonegiven14582 ??? eyepokes are illegal in the sport. fighters are often deducted points in fights, and fights are occasionally stopped ebcause of it. Do you watch UFC?
@@brandonwootten Watched UFC since 1995. Since Jon Jones and his steroids. He taught others to threaten an eyepoke. To simply disrupt the opponent. At worst you usually get a warning when it goes in the eye. People like Anthony Johnson, Rampage Jackson and Belal have had a terrible time with it In street fights. Even the dirtiest don't threaten. Let alone eye poke. But it's now part and parcel of this drugs sports Do I watch UFC. Not much any more. Why? Drugs and eye pokes Even Bisping was fighting at 205. Look at him now and people like former heavyweight Rachad Evans. Now they are more down to a more natural size? When even people like BJ Penn get flagged up for cheating. You realise that he, Anderson Silva and all the legends are the same. Not just the Sean Sherks of this world. Drug sport sham, eye pokes. False fight where you can't even push someone
The new gloves are good for prevenrting unintentional eye pokes, but whatever they do, there is no way to prevent intentional eye pokes without messing up the grappling game
these aren't good at preventing eye pokes, trevor already designed mma gloves that prevent eye pokes with which you can still grapple normally, you just gotta make them so you would have to flex your hand to do eye pokes. i think he prob patented those so the ufc couldn't probably implement that feature.
@@GrandmasterHash Exactly. People keep saying they are too cheap to pay Trevor but don't know that UFC wants to own them outright and Trevor didnt wanna sell outright.
Deducing points will be the right move to prevent eye pokes. So that the one who did eye pokes will not take advantage too much. With the risk of losing fight by point deduction, I believe most of fighters will be far more cautious to poke eyes no matter on purpose or not.
Points mean nothing though. An eye poke can lead to an easier takedown or chance to catch someone with something they can’t see. If penalties were enforced in the UFC we’d see less shenanigans. Also these gloves suck, they’re a classic image but the design doesn’t help.
So if Jon Jones gets his first loss from having a point taken away for his first eye-poke, maybe another for his second, nobody is going to complain about it and say he is still undefeated? I mean, he should have been DQd in his fight against Anthony Smith. Whether he said he could continue is irrelevant. He also lost for certain to Reyes and in my opinion to Santos (much closer fight though). So Jones lost his last 3 fights at 205. Don’t dare disagree if you don’t consider the matt hammil loss to be legit. If you can ignore official losses, I can ignore official wins.
They kinda just took alot of known brands ( especially venum by the looks of it ) and blended them together. it's a shame Dana White was too greedy to make a deal with Trevor Whitman, now those gloves REALLY would've been an improvement Thanks for the solid review and detailed look at them!
Seem to be the same concept as Wittman's "grappling gloves" that were shown on JRE years ago. If I recall, the UFC wanted to license or purchase the design, and do production as they see fit. Wittman probably wanted an exclusive production contract. That's why it didn't happen. If it wasn't about getting that contract, and it is a better glove, why isn't OnX producing and selling them direct to consumers?
For me, it looks like they had hammer fist punches in mind with the old style. It looks like wrist protection and reducing the padding is what they have been designed for. Super nice though.
Big fan! Love the video! I can't wait until they release to the public so I can do a review! I did a video of every major promotions gloves and only used them as if you warmed up for the fight in the back to see which ones were best. I agree, no glove design is ever going stop eye pokes, I'm more concerned over hand injuries! Wishing you the best camp, can't wait to watch ya work on the 1st!
disagree, trevor whitman gloves are designed to. With the new and current UFC gloves, when you relax your hand it will open up. Trevor whitman gloves by design is made to when you relax your hand, you will ball up into a fist since the leather itself is design to contract. This is relevant because when fight goes on and people get tired they will relax their hand and thus it should reduce eye pokes. Would it reduce it enough to a relevant degree? No one knows. What we do know is that Dana lied about these gloves having anything to do with addressing the eye poke problem.
@@Newbtuber Unfortunately ONX MMA gloves aren't available to the general public yet. I think you have to fight and train in a lot of these gloves that are mentioned.
This is the best video i've seen about the new gloves, i couldn't find any person talking about this, thank you! I whish you luck in your next fight from spain🇪🇸
This is a great review. I am worried about how far the gloves stick out with a fist, you made a great point about grazes and cuts from them. It will also do nothing to stop eye pokes.
3:05 my guess would be the padding is slightly lighter over the knuckles to accommodate the weight of adding padding over backfist, yet still keeping it at 4oz.
mannn, the finger holes almost make it look easier to eye poke (less curved) and now slice eyeballs also... the padding on the lower hand and straps look like the only improvement tbh.
I have both next to me. They are *MUCH LIGHTER* Im a boxer and striking coach so for me the difference between a 14oz to 16oz sparring glove is massive I havent weighted them but im guessing these are well over 1 ounce lighter Your right on ablut the knuckle padding, i think they are going for a more BKFC KO appeal Which is actjally safer becajse getting knocked out cold is alot better than being stunned when you dont habe a standing 8 count. More cuts though i predict The wrists are the biggest cjange for a reason. The old gloves you can grab and pull on a guys glove no matter the tape or wrap underneath. These new ones arent going to allow guys to do that because they are longer and tighter I only use these type gloves when working with my bare knuckle guys but i love the changes I think you will too once you get used to them Good luck
Super good breakdown on these new gloves! I really appreciate your opinion the most since you’ll actually be the one fighting in these and now I’m hoping the raised leather by the fingers doesn’t make cuts worse since that’s what they tried to fix 😬
What do you think about pride gloves? I think those would reduce eye poking by a lot, I used them and they are definitely better than the old ufc gloves, and by the looks of it they are also better than these new ufc gloves, although I will never know, because I’m done with mma after practicing it for around 4 years for fun, collected enough injuries and spent a lot of money for healing them 😅
The fact that the bean counters decided to make these out of Pleather , makes them suspect. The second thing is they didn’t even try to stop eye pokes like the bellator gloves do. They’re just trying to save a buck. Cheaper material and lighter weight means more savings
What an absolutely trash, ridiculous take. Do you know how much gloves cost to make? UFC belts alone are worth hundreds of thousands… after each title defense they get rubies. If they wanted to save 5 bucks they would cut costs on the expensive things, not the cheapest things. Makes no financial sense. Math doesn’t math. They probably want more KOs, which is why they’re lighter now
@@carloandreaguilar5916honestly his take was better than yours. UFC could’ve partnered & got the patented gloves, but instead they only wanted to buy buddy out (his name slips my mind rn. Sorry I have a headache)
@carloandreaguilar5916 The ufc did exactly that by not giving out a new belt for every title defence so yeah they cheaped out there. Also don't you understand economics? There will be 10s of thousands of new gloves created over time so obviously they are going to cut costs on the highest quantity item.
@@carloandreaguilar5916You believe that the gold alloy plated belt is worth $150k? I have some beachfront property in the Everglades for sale you might be interested in.
Sick, was curious about the new gloves since they did the reveal. Random, but would you ever consider walking out to Rude Boy by Zeds Dead? Would be perfect and it’s a BANGER of a dubstep song 😂
Not only is it not doing a damn thing about the eye pokes but that extra letter protruding out on top of the fingers might make it worse. Thanks for pointing that out.
It look gentler on the hands, I'm thinking something interesting might start happening fights (that isn't illegal). Oh! You should test the new gloves in grappling, im still wondering about that.
Joe rogan made some good points about eye pokes. The old pride gloves sort of held the fingers bent more at rest , that would reduce eye pokes substantially. I don't know why they don't incorporate that
I heard a few of the fighters say it’s less padding in the knuckles, or your knuckles pop through the padding. My guess is UFC intentionally did that to see more blood and knockouts. But I never fight MMA so I’m just speculating
This is cool to see someone go over the new gloves and eye pokes will always be part of the game. However, you should get an instant point deduction if you poke an eye. No warnings. Eye pokes aren't caused from when your guard is up. They most often come from people using a fingers forward long guard or from actively pawing at the face. Ala DC. I'd argue it's way more natural and less tense to keep your hand in more of a C shape than fully open. That way you can still parry and also close your fists quicker for strikes. Fighters need to be punished for eye pokes and should be more aware/conscious of doing it to actively do better to reduce them. There is a few fighters that actively use it as part of their game knowing they're going to get a warning first before being punished doesn't stop them. My old Muay Thai coach used to say "Land one good kick to the dick at the start of the fight and if you get a warning don't do it again, if the ref doesn't notice it. Do it again" He was old school and did anything to win. I can appreciate it but don't agree with it. But i feel a lot of the fighters in the UFC take this route too. Especially when half your purse is on the line which i completely understand. if everyone gets punished the same and the rules stay the same. Then the playing field stays fair and less fights are ruined from being poked in the eye. Ultimately it's never going to stop but rules need to change. Less so the gloves.
5:05 other than this part, the glove itself is perfect. but yeah those check hooks can just scrape you enough to cut you open. They gotta work something out on that part but other than that glove is dope !
Randy, do you think they will make things easier to grab? Also good luck for this upcoming fight me and my girlfriend are really looking forward to it!
These don't prevent eye-pokes any more than the last gloves did, but the forced curling of the fingers is going to lead to tons of broken and dislocated fingers.
there wont be less eyepokes unless they change the rules, it's a fight strategy employed by a lot of people because they know its basically a 3-4 strikes and your out kind of rule, they know they can get away with it so they strategically chose when you use their eyepoke passes. The gloves will change nothing imo
Is it easier to make a fist? Do you feel like you have to squeeze as tightly? My concern with the less dense padding is more cuts and knuckle breaks and the knuckle bashes through the padding.
Great Question. It isn't easier or harder to make a fist. If the hands are wrapped properly there shouldn't be any straight up knuckle breaks. But i do feel like fighter will be more prone to being cut.
I will reserve judgement until after they’ve been used in real fights for a couple of months. I could have a million opinions, but I’ve never punched or been punched by those gloves. I’ll let the professionals tell me if they’re better or worse. But regarding eye pokes; those gloves offer zero changes. I thought that wanted to update to that glove design by the former fighter (can’t remember who it is), where it prevents your hand from opening all the way. Idk
Wonder why they changed them. The only thing that needs changing is the finger positions and they didnt even fix that...Probably allot cheaper. Cool video tho.
@Rudeboy Didn't Trevor Whitman's give resistance when you try to open your hands? I believe I heard Rogan say that. I wouldn't be against that, but like you said in the video, anyone that knows anything about fighting, knows that you dont keep clinched fists in your guard.
@@FacilityBJJ theres a difference between having fists clenched and your hands completely open with fingers spread. The main issue is fighters extending their fingers out to the opponent as "range-finders", when striking and grazing/poking the opponent whether intentionally or not. Your hands don't naturally rest wide open anyway, you're actively tensing your hand when you fully open it, so trevor's gloves really just keep your hand in the natural position. This would make unintentional eye pokes a lot less common and allow for more strict punishments imo
Had no idea you had a channel, will tune in more often

There’s going to be loads more fights stopped because of cuts
Well the gloves are super thight so there has to be some room for hand wraps it wont be that opened once they are put on

the new wrist strap is nice
Is it easier to make a fist? Do you feel like you have to squeeze as tightly? My concern with the less dense padding is more cuts and knuckle breaks and the knuckle bashes through the padding.
Great Question. It isn't easier or harder to make a fist. If the hands are wrapped properly there shouldn't be any straight up knuckle breaks. But i do feel like fighter will be more prone to being cut.
@@Rudeboy damn :( thank you for the response.
What do you think about Bellators gloves ?
I will reserve judgement until after they’ve been used in real fights for a couple of months.
I could have a million opinions, but I’ve never punched or been punched by those gloves. I’ll let the professionals tell me if they’re better or worse.
But regarding eye pokes; those gloves offer zero changes. I thought that wanted to update to that glove design by the former fighter (can’t remember who it is), where it prevents your hand from opening all the way. Idk
noticed any difference in the feeling when throwing hammer fists?
no real difference in that area of the glove. but after my session today ill let you guys know in the next vlog
great video man!
Is this gloves more Hurst than old ,
Maybe a stupid question but why is there padding on the wrist section?
How did u get new gloves
One championship has gloves that help prevent eye pokes
Wonder why they changed them. The only thing that needs changing is the finger positions and they didnt even fix that...Probably allot cheaper. Cool video tho.
holes for the fingers are really bad. they should do something about it.
I think they are going to improve on eye scrapes...
What makes you think that after seeing this video?
@@Rudeboy I mean you pointed it out, that loose ass leather on your fingers.
You did your thing last night, rude boy!!!
awesome review
mike perry talks about how bare knuckle forces you to squeeze your hands and no one is used to it.
Do they make you feel like you have to push your hand open, or do you have to push to make a closed fist?
Honestly neither. There very comfortable
@Rudeboy Didn't Trevor Whitman's give resistance when you try to open your hands? I believe I heard Rogan say that. I wouldn't be against that, but like you said in the video, anyone that knows anything about fighting, knows that you dont keep clinched fists in your guard.
@@FacilityBJJ theres a difference between having fists clenched and your hands completely open with fingers spread. The main issue is fighters extending their fingers out to the opponent as "range-finders", when striking and grazing/poking the opponent whether intentionally or not. Your hands don't naturally rest wide open anyway, you're actively tensing your hand when you fully open it, so trevor's gloves really just keep your hand in the natural position. This would make unintentional eye pokes a lot less common and allow for more strict punishments imo
very informative
great video
Where can i buy this?
Hey big dog, do you use the gloves that you train in or do they give you new gloves for the fight?
they cool i just really dont like the championship gloves😭🤢
Cause you don't got champion mentality lmao
