When you begin your quest for a quality pair of MMA gloves, you are going to find 3 main brands: UFC, Fairtex and Combat sports. All 3 are great companies and you will find that only their look and design features are all that set them apart.

UFC MMA Gloves

Most popular are the UFC brand. The UFC Official Fight cost about $54.99 and when you use them up- you will probably feel bad about throwing them away. This is the only glove approved to be worn by UFC fighters in the Octagon™. The only glove tested and approved by the UFC® and required in the Octagon® for all Ultimate Fighting Championship® events.

Combat Sports MMA Gloves

Combat Sports is endorsed by world champion fighters, instructors, promoters and sanctioning bodies worldwide as the leader and innovator in MMA Gloves.

Combat Sports equipment is “Engineered for Top Performance”. Combat Sports has become one of the hottest brands in the Combat Sports equipment industry with over 25 distributors worldwide. Combat Sports’ collection of fighting gloves include both sparring and competition style gloves.

They have Mexican style pro training gloves, MMA Shin Guards, grappling shin guards, grappling gloves, mma rash guards, mma training gloves and more.

I do a lot of bag work, so I really like the wrist support of this glove. It has a really long strap that allows a double wrap. The glove also saves your hands from getting torn up with a good ¾ inches of padding.

Fairtex Gloves

Ah- Fairtex… What nice gloves. In my line of work, I have used many brands of gloves- UFC, Combat Sports, Hayabusa, Century. Fairtex have a great fit and perform quite well. The MMA competition gloves have good padding and a nice wrist strap design. The sparring gloves have tons of padding and also a nice long wrist strap.

Things to Consider

Before you run out and buy a pair of MMA Gloves, there are a few things to consider. What will you be using them for, how much are you willing to spend and how much does brand mean to you…

I recommend to my customers that training gloves do not have to be expensive. Why spend a fortune on gloves that will be used-up and sweaty?

Many fighters are into the vanity thing- well at least until the first time they get punched in the nose and their eyes well-up with tears. Get past the looks and get a good glove!

Shop around. When you are ready to purchase, go here for the best prices on all MMA gloves…
