  • The UFC is officially doing away with the new gloves in all fights, as multiple fighters revealed multiple issues with new gloves.

The UFC has announced that it will permanently remove its new gloves from competition following complaints from fighters about their design. The gloves, introduced at UFC 302, were intended to reduce eye pokes and enhance hand protection but instead led to issues with fit and comfort. Fighters like Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier criticized the gloves for being too tight and causing hand injuries. The UFC has acknowledged the feedback and confirmed that the gloves will be redesigned, with the current model being discontinued. The organization aims to address the concerns and improve the gloves' design for future use.
