The UFC’s experiment with new gloves is over. UFC President Dana White announced the promotion is going back to its old gloves. White says it was his decision.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - NOVEMBER 14: UFC President Dana White speaks during the UFC 309 pressconference at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on November 14, 2024 in New York City. The UFC ’s experiment with new gloves is over. On Saturday, fighters who compete at UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden in New York will wear old gloves.
According to White, “there were a lot complaints. We originally created these gloves to stop eye pokes. We had good intentions with them. They didn’t work out. People weren’t happy with them, so I actually made the decision. I called our chief operating officer Lawrence and said I’m switching the gloves. I want the old gloves back.
Fans originally thought Jones pulled a power move to get the gloves he’d become accustomed to back for UFC 309. Jones has been notorious for eye pokes in his career because he tended to extend an open hand toward his opponent. White’s decision to switch back to the old gloves should make most of the UFC’s veterans happy, but the folks at EA who develop EA UFC may be annoyed. To stay current with the promotion, EA updated the game with the new colored gloves.
