In this article I would like to compare 2 brands of MMA Gloves:  the UFC official Fight Gloves to the Hayabusa Pro MMA Gloves. Both are excellent competition gloves and they both have an excellent reputation as being gloves that are great for the cage.

The padding of the Hayabusa Gloves weighs about the same as the UFC gloves but the UFC gloves padding is more centralized over the knuckles where the padding of the Hayabusa gloves is more dispersed and covers more of the hand. The UFC gloves have one big pad.

The wrist support of the UFC gloves is a single wrap with no adjustment. Next time you watch a fight, you will notice the gloves are taped to keep them secure. The Hayabusa gloves also have a single wrist wrap but they also have an added inner cinching strap that allows the fighter to first tighten the inner side of the wrist then a final outer wrap. This feature also allows for easier on and off of the gloves.

The palms of the UFC gloves are completely open. The thumb is not impeded at all. This allows for complete grabbing while grappling. The Hayabusa Gloves have a “Y” type of palm design. I am not exactly sure what this accomplishes, but I think it may have to do with hand fatigue. The “Y” design helps when flexing so your hand muscles do not get so tired.

The Construction of the UFC gloves is top quality leather, where the Hayabusa are a synthetic material, which is very much like leather. Both have excellent graphic printing and both have superior stitching.

Some of the customer comments/complaints I have received are not too many for these 2 gloves. Some people do not like the longer finger padding. They say it makes it difficult to make a tight fist- I have to agree. The UFC gloves are very hard. I think I would rather be hit with a bare fist. After see the UFC gloves, you will have a new appreciation for the UFC fighters.

The Hayabusa Pro MMA Gloves Retail at most stores for $64.99 and can be found for $56.

The UFC Official Fight Gloves Retail at $54 and can be found for $44.
