UFC Permanently Reverts to Old Gloves After Fighter Complaints, Announces Dana White
Nov 14, 2024, 10:29 PM
Dana White, president of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), announced at the UFC 309 press conference that the organization will permanently revert to its old glove design, abandoning the new gloves introduced earlier. The decision comes after multiple complaints from fighters, including Jon Jones, who were dissatisfied with the new gloves. Knockouts had decreased by 10 percent since the introduction of the new gloves. White stated, "The new gloves are now the old gloves," acknowledging that despite good intentions to reduce eye pokes with the new design, the gloves did not meet expectations. The old gloves will be used moving forward, starting with UFC 309.
