Alright, so you wanna know about them UFC mouth guards, huh? Lemme tell ya, it ain’t just some fancy piece of plastic them fellas stick in their mouths for nothin’. It’s important stuff, ya hear?
Why them fighters need mouth guards? Well, it’s like this, them fellas are punchin’ and kickin’ each other somethin’ fierce. A good smack to the jaw can knock your teeth clean out, or worse, break your jaw. Nobody wants that, right? So, they wear these mouth guards to keep their teeth and jaws safe. It’s like a cushion for your mouth, see?
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I heard tell there’s different kinds of these mouth guards. Some are cheap, some are fancy. Some just cover the top teeth, ’cause that’s where most of the hittin’ happens, I guess. I seen some that say “UFC” right on ’em, so you know they’re the real deal.
- Them cheap ones: They probably do the job alright, but maybe they ain’t as comfy or as tough as the good ones. You get what you pay for, I always say.
- Them fancy ones: These, I heard, got all sorts of bells and whistles. Some got this “anti-bacterial” stuff in ’em, so they don’t get all nasty and germy. Some fit better, too. If you’re gonna be fightin’ for a livin’, you probably want the best, right?
I saw somethin’ about “OPRO” brand bein’ the official mouth guard of the UFC. Sounds fancy, huh? They probably make all them different kinds, from the cheap ones to the ones the big champions wear. Makes sense, I guess. If you’re gonna be the best, you gotta have the best gear, even if it’s just somethin’ you stick in your mouth.
And get this, they can’t even start a fight if they ain’t got their mouth guard in. That’s how important it is. The ref, he checks ’em, make sure they got it in good, then they can start punchin’. It’s like a seatbelt, ya know? You gotta wear it to be safe.
You can probably buy these mouth guards all over the place. I bet they got ’em online, on that “Amazon” thing the kids are always talkin’ about. And I heard tell there’s a “UFC store” where you can get all sorts of UFC stuff, like shirts and hats and, yeah, mouth guards. Probably cost ya a pretty penny, though.
So, how do you use one of these things? Well, I ain’t never used one myself, thank the Lord, but I seen ’em do it on TV. You gotta boil ’em first, I think, to soften ’em up. Then you stick ’em in your mouth and bite down, so it fits just right. Sounds kinda weird, but I guess it works. You want it snug, so it don’t fall out when you’re gettin’ punched in the face.
Now, some folks might say, “Oh, it’s just a mouth guard, no big deal.” But lemme tell ya, it is a big deal. Them fighters are puttin’ their bodies on the line every time they step in that ring, or cage, or whatever they call it. They need all the protection they can get, and that little piece of plastic can make a big difference. It can save ’em a lot of pain and a lot of money at the dentist, that’s for sure.
And it ain’t just for the big-time UFC fighters, neither. I heard tell even the little kids wear ’em when they’re doin’ sports like boxing or wrestling. Starts ’em young, I guess. Gotta protect them teeth, no matter how old you are.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know about them UFC mouth guards. They’re important, they keep your teeth safe, and you gotta wear ’em if you wanna fight. Simple as that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make some supper. All this talk about fightin’ is makin’ me hungry.
And don’t forget, if you want to know more, like when the next fight is or who’s fightin’ who, you can probably find all that online too. Just search for “UFC schedule” or somethin’ like that. Them young folks are always on their phones, they can find anything these days.
