What hurts more? A 4oz MMA gloves or an 8oz boxing glove with the knuckle padding pushing up against it.

MMA gloves are definitely harder but the knockouts are misleading. You see more knockouts in MMA due to the smaller gloves which gives less defense unlike boxing gloves you cannot block shots so easily . Also add in stoppages from kicks , elbows ,knees etc .

You also have different rules per round time mostly 3 rounds for 5 minutes so the pace is usually faster

very good point. Didn’t think about the defense or longer rounds. Thank you
