Welcome to Midnight Mania!
One thing new is coming this Friday (April 12, 2024) on the UFC 300 weigh-ins, that are scheduled to go down contained in the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. In lately launched press data, the promotion teased a particular “New UFC Tools Announcement and Presentation” after the official weigh-ins conclude.
The announcement made its method to Twitter, and hypothesis started instantly. Virtually universally, the identical conclusion was drawn: UFC has to lastly be fixing the gloves, proper? It’s exhausting to consider an tools various that may be worthy of a UFC 300 announcement.
The demand for mounted gloves has by no means been larger. 2024 has featured an abundance of eye pokes and eye poke-related controversies, together with the current bout between Chris Weidman and Bruno Silva. In that Middleweight contest, former champion Weidman managed to poke his opponent within the eye three separate instances, and the ultimate change controversially ended the combat.
Some have argued the answer is easy: CLOSE YOUR HANDS! Others blame the UFC gloves, which lengthen the fingers outward after they’re unfastened and relaxed. Totally different fashions of gloves — even all the way in which again to PRIDE FC! — curl inward a bit, which means that relaxed fingers aren’t so prolonged.
Keep tuned.
