How come ufc/mma guys

MMA is the trend. It may stay around forever, but it's still the trend right now. A trend, that I see fading already. Regardless, anytime a new dog comes into the area, they try to take out the big dog in town. Problem is, there are two different kinds of dog we're talking about.

I also saw a preview of that movie "Never Back Down" and one of the lines is "...that boxing stuff just doesn't cut it anymore." I laughed.

I gotta be honest i do watch the UFC and it can be entertaining but sometimes i cant help but laugh at how bad the fighters boxing is ! I mean come on they look worse than armatures lol

MMA gloves provide more knockout force because the force is transferred to a smaller surface area. Boxing gloves cause more damage because fighters take more punches, not necessarily clean punches but the glancing partially blocked shots. Really the MMA gloves have the effect of allowing a fighter an opprtunity to punch with more force than with the bare knuckle without actually making much difference to the surface area contact of the punch. The UFC only started using those gloves because they know that people want to see punching and pure grapplers can't really punch without causing themselves injury if they use the bare knuckle.

ok now let him wear the maa gloves, i gurantee he'll deal far more damage with the maa gloves than the boxing gloves.

the big gloves have more KO power because of jolting the head but the small maa gloves are more likely to cause damage, thats what I thought anyway. I think the mma gloves are more effective at cutting your face up. Anyway, throw a small pair of mma gloves on a quick, heavy-handed HW boxer like W. Klitschko who is used to throwing missiles in heavy 16 ounce's and see what kind of damage he's do to mma brawler.
