Rashad Evans Premieres MMA Gloves Designed by Trevor Wittman

I want to show you these gloves. I brought some gloves to show you. So these gloves right here are what we're going to be doing for the competition gloves. The competition and the training gloves, the seven ounce training gloves. So pretty much what these are. So this one is the... So has he developed a different glove for MMA for competition as well? Yes. Has the UFC seen these? Because they need to make some adjustments. We're talking with the UFC, but these are the ones... So they're curved. I like how it's curved. So it sets up that you're in a curved position early on. Because as you know, when you get the gloves now, they're like a cardboard. They want to open your hand almost. Yeah, they always want to open your hands. This allows your hands to stay in a natural fist locked position. And you don't got to worry about that. He's now getting it on. Big hands. Oh yeah. Okay, so it's curved right away. Yeah, curved right away. And then when you... That's way better. Yeah, like the old pride gloves. Yeah. Yeah. Good padding too. So it's... I like them. I like them a lot. These are definitely better than the ones UFC is using right now. Take that. Yeah. Yeah. So if you see the extra strapping system in there, that also goes in there. So then that way it makes it so that your hand, you don't get the boxing break on your hand. It keeps everything. All the muscles, all the ligaments and bones in place. So then that way when you're punching, everything is in form. So it says grappling glove? Fight glove. Yes, a grappling glove and fight glove. So these ones were the ones at the factory and I had to hurry up and get these out just so I can... I wanted to show you these. So this one is... This one is going to be like the training one. But we're going to put a different head on the front of it. What's going to be different about it? It's going to be just... The top is going to be different. A little bit more so you can punch with... Hit it with a side. Hit it with a side. It'll be a little bit like... This has got some side padding. Definitely better than nothing. It'll be a side padding like this a little bit. So it's going to be a bit bigger so that way you can hit like that and train and... Like casting punches like those. I like these a lot. I like these a lot. But Trevor's whole thing, man, it's all about making it so that fighters can do what they enjoy doing a lot longer and be healthy about it. And he's... Trevor's a G when it comes to adjusting and making what he needs to for the fighter so they can continue to do what they want to do. He's made head gears for people to... So because one of these fighters had a broken nose and he made a head gear and head gear that he made with this guy, it was sick. How does this work? This is weird because it's like both sides are male. Let's see here. Oh yeah, so this is... Let's see. It goes on the inside. It goes on the inside? It goes on the inside. How does that work? Yeah, it goes on the inside. I got to see. Okay. Probably some weird shit you got to talk to Trevor about. Let me see. Maybe it goes this way first. Oh, I bet that's exactly what it is. I bet it goes this way first. Yeah, so you can put... Yeah, that's exactly how it goes like that. Oh, that is exactly what it is. Yeah, so you can pull the strap on it. Yeah, and then the strap goes over. Okay, I see. And the strap goes over the top. These are great, man. Well, there's definitely room for improvement. The current state of MMA gloves, the ones that UFC uses, they're better than the original ones that they had a few years back. You know, they improved them maybe eight or nine years ago or whatever it was. But still, those are better. Well, see, I mean, and that's where we are at Onyx. You know, we just want to be able to get a product out there for the athletes and that they can use, but it protects them because a lot of the injuries, like 75% of them happen in training. Sure. And if we can kind of cut that number down, then they can have a lot more of these fighters making these dates. And for the most part, for these fighters, you can actually...you can have gear that protects you and you don't got to suffer these long injuries like these ACLs. Right. It helped mitigate some of those things. So, yeah. That's it. Thanks. Bye. Bye.
