MMA Gloves

MMA Gloves come in two basic varieties Competition MMA Gloves and Sparring MMA gloves. The competition gloves are a small 4oz glove which over time have broken down into what is a pretty standard format  whereas the larger 6oz glove for MMA sparring come in a variety of designs.

MMA Gloves are fingerless to allow a full range of grips and holds whilst in the clinch or grappling phases of a fight or during sparring they are designed primarilly to protect the hand during striking not to lower the impact of the blow on the opponent.
