      @@karl17abucay I have no real evidence to back this up, but I think it's an ego thing with Dana. PRIDE FC has a very large die hard fan base who refuse to let Dana forget that during the time of its existence the UFC was number 2, or potentially even 3. Dana appears to from my perspective really freaking hate that Chuck threw in the towel in 03. And that he proved the UFC's best at the time was not even good enough to make it to the Semi Finals of a PRIDE Grand Prix. Anything remotely related to PRIDE FC he seems to dislike and try to avoid if at all possible. The only reason the UFC seems to sell PRIDE FC merch, is becuase they know it will sell.

    The only way to stop eye pokes is to completely close the fingers up like a boxing glove. Even a boxing glove can poke an eye if the thumb grases your eye. Great video

  • @alduin69
    @alduin69 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    At the end of the day, there's a few issues with this video. First and foremost, the new (now old) UFC gloves were *NOT* designed to reduce eyepokes; they were designed to reduce hand breaks and lacerations from the stitching, and they pretty openly were like "sure, I guess they might reduce eyepokes due to the hand being more natural, but that was not the goal" during the launch press conference. Second off, the argument is not that new gloves will eliminate INTENTIONAL eye pokes (you're saying you can simply open your hand and poke people in any fingerless glove), the argument is rather that the resting position in the UFC gloves is an open hand, making you need to manually close your hand if you DON'T want to risk eye pokes, whereas it should be the opposite (like with the Rizin gloves, which look outstanding), where we have the resting position of the hand being curved down. So, once again, at the end of the day, the concern is not being able to eliminate intentional Jon Jones style eye pokes, it's about being able to reduce the amount of unintentional "sorry man, my hand was open" eyepokes. At the end of the day, it was good to hear from someone with experience of all these gloves, but at the end of the day, the entire video is based off of false premises.

    • @88crazy8
      @88crazy8 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Dana officially said they were created with the intent to stop finger pokes. Your are wrong...

    • @combat_corp
      @combat_corp  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Sorry for the late response friend,
      At the end of the day, I appreciate you bringing up these points because they open up a larger discussion, but let me clarify where I completely disagree with the premise of your comment.
      First, you’re correct that the gloves were marketed to reduce hand breaks and lacerations-that’s a valid point. However, for years, the primary public outcry regarding UFC gloves has been about eye pokes, and that’s exactly why these gloves were introduced. If you look at the press conferences surrounding UFC 302, multiple fighters, including Dustin Poirier, Islam Makhachev, Sean Strickland, Paulo Costa, and Kevin Holland, openly questioned how these gloves were supposed to stop eye pokes. Randy Brown even made a video on his TH-cam channel, explicitly stating that he didn’t see how they addressed the issue of eye pokes, which was a clear selling point of their release.
      Second, your argument about the glove’s resting position being the issue (open vs. curved) is something I also discussed in the video. I mentioned that no fingerless glove can eliminate intentional eye pokes and that the design of these gloves fails to address even unintentional eye pokes effectively. If anything, the “natural” hand position these gloves claim to support hasn’t prevented incidents-if anything, they’ve stayed the same.
      Finally, I disagree that the video is based on 'false premises.' My goal was to critique the gloves from my experience, and based on that, I feel the redesign fell short in every meaningful way, whether it’s hand protection, reducing lacerations, or addressing eye pokes. At the end of the day (yes, I say it a lot), I’m sharing an opinion grounded in firsthand experience with these gloves, and I stand by my assessment.

    • @alduin69
      @alduin69 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I absolutely value the firsthand experience, and let me make this clear: saying that this video was made under false premises was not, in any way, implying that you were being deceitful/disingenuous. I will reiterate that I very much enjoyed hearing your perspective, as you have much experience with many glove types, and I do not. The false premises are rather #1, the statement that the gloves were *"designed to"* prevent eyepokes, and #2, the "missing the point" so to speak of the outcry for the UFC to have a more curved glove to prevent *unintentional* eyepokes. They were not *designed* to prevent eyepokes, they were designed to prevent hand breaks, with eyepoke reduction being a possible "bonus" so to speak. Again, they specifically said this during the launch. I do think they SHOULD have worked on them with the intent of reducing eyepokes, but they did not.
      I agree that the gloves fell short, I'm with you on that- but in the video, you put a lot of emphasis on showing how you can still poke someone "if you want to", but nobody has ever argued that we can make fingerless gloves which completely eliminate eyepokes, we all simply want gloves that don't force your hands into an open position when resting, dramatically increasing the probability of an unintentional eyepoke.
      At the end of the day (this is me genuinely using that term now), we're all on the same team, I think you're being completely genuine, but they did not make the gloves to prevent eyepokes (even though they should've), and having a glove that doesn't force your hand open absolutely WOULD prevent unintentional eyepokes.
