UFC Returns to Old-School Gloves

The UFC is bringing back the old-style gloves

The new gloves will be used in all UFC events starting in 2023

The UFC is bringing back the old-style gloves. The new gloves will be used in all UFC events starting in 2023. The UFC made the announcement on Tuesday, saying that the new gloves will be "more protective and will help to reduce the risk of injury."

The old-style gloves were used in the UFC from 1993 to 2001. They were made of leather and had a lace-up closure. The new gloves will be similar to the old-style gloves, but they will have some modern updates. They will be made of a synthetic material and will have a Velcro closure.

The UFC says that the new gloves will provide better protection for the fighters. The gloves will have more padding in the knuckles and the palms. They will also have a longer cuff that will provide more support for the wrists.

The UFC hopes that the new gloves will help to reduce the risk of injury. The gloves will make it more difficult for fighters to cut their opponents. They will also make it more difficult for fighters to break their hands.

The UFC's decision to bring back the old-style gloves is a controversial one. Some fighters have expressed concerns that the new gloves will make it more difficult to grapple. Other fighters have said that the new gloves will make the fights less exciting.

Only time will tell whether the UFC's decision to bring back the old-style gloves is a good one. However, the UFC is confident that the new gloves will make the fights safer and more exciting.
