Alright, let’s talk about these UFC sparring gloves, or whatever you call ’em. You know, the things them fellas wear when they’re beatin’ each other up in that cage. I ain’t no expert, but I seen a thing or two, and I know what’s what when it comes to protectin’ your hands.
First off, you gotta get gloves that fit right. Not too loose, not too tight. Like a good pair of shoes, you know? You don’t want your hands sloshin’ around in there, but you also don’t want ’em squeezed so tight they turn purple. Them fellas say snug fit is the word. Yeah, snug, like a bug in a rug. That’s what they want.
- Too loose, and your hand ain’t protected.
- Too tight, and you can’t move your fingers right. Then how you gonna punch somebody?
Now, some folks might say, “Oh, I can use boxing gloves for this MMA stuff.” Well, maybe you can, but it ain’t the same. Boxin’ is boxin’, MMA is MMA. They got their own gloves for a reason. It’s like tryin’ to plow a field with a shovel. Sure, you can do it, but it ain’t gonna be pretty, and it’ll take you all day. Each sport has its own gloves, makes sense, right?
Then there’s the weight of them gloves. They got all these numbers, 10 oz, 12 oz, and I don’t know what else. Sounds fancy, but it ain’t that complicated. Them little 10 oz ones, them’s for fightin’ and sparrin’, but they might be too light for hittin’ that heavy bag, especially if you’re tryin’ to sweat off some pounds. Them 12 oz ones, them’s good for all sorts of things. Mitt work, heavy bags, just gettin’ in shape. Seems like a good all-around choice to me. So you gotta figure out what you’re gonna be doin’ with them gloves before you go buyin’ ’em. Don’t just go grabbin’ any old thing. Figure out your weight and what you want to do, then get the right gloves for that. That’s what the smart folks do.
And how do you know if they fit right? Well, you gotta measure your hand, see? Around the thickest part, like you’re measurin’ a hog’s belly. Use one of them soft tape measures, the kind them seamstresses use. That’ll tell you what size you need. Hand circumference, they call it. Sounds important.
Now, where you gonna get these gloves? I hear tell you can find them gloves on eBay. They got all sorts of stuff on there, so why not gloves? And they got colors, too! Who knew you could get beat up in style? Fill your cart with color, they say. Sounds like fun, even if it’s just for punchin’. You can also look for the official UFC sparring gloves or some MMA gloves. Just make sure they ain’t no cheap knock-offs. You don’t want your gloves fallin’ apart mid-punch. That wouldn’t be good, no sir.
And don’t forget, there’s always new catalogs comin’ out. They got all the latest stuff in them. You can probably find some good gloves in there too. Just gotta keep your eyes peeled. Check the newest catalog, you might find a good deal. Always good to save a penny or two.
Some fellas like them Fairtex FGV18 gloves. They say they’re good for sparrin’ and hittin’ the heavy bag. I ain’t never used ’em myself, but if them fellas say they’re good, they’re probably good. Fairtex FGV18 gloves are a solid choice. See, I remember these things. I might be old but I ain’t senile yet.
So there you have it. That’s all I know about these here UFC sparring gloves. Get the right fit, the right weight, and don’t buy no junk. And maybe get some pretty colors while you’re at it. Just remember to protect them hands, ’cause you ain’t gonna be doin’ much with busted knuckles. That’s the long and short of it.
Now, go on and get yourself some gloves and start punchin’… somethin’. Just not me, I’m too old for that kind of nonsense.
