Like most, it's a nuanced debate. On his podcast, whenever Rogan has a fighter or trainer on, he always asks them what about going gloveless. It sounds crazy, but there's an argument to be made for it. A misplaced punch can easily result in a broken (or badly bruised) hand, so you wouldn't have fighters throwing as much, and they wouldn't commit as much. The argument for gloves (since both sides of the debate result in brain trauma) is that society sees it (ostensibly) as less barbaric--less of a blood sport, and more as a sweet science.
Anyway, i see both sides as having valid points.
Here's his defense of going gloveless if you're interested:
