| MMA Gloves?
whats with the UFC gloves all being black and one-brand, and the Pride gloves being the same color and one-brand as well, whats wrong with letting these guys wear whichever gloves they want as long as there 3 0z?

Good question, but I think it looks less suspicious...so nobody thinks they are tampering with the gloves for an advantage.

It's also an easy way to make sure that all the gloves are exactly the same. You can be sure that no one has even a small advantage because of their gloves if you make sure they're identical. A lot easier than inspecting every fighter's gloves.

And its probably as simple as an endorsement deal or sponsorship deal for the UFC to use Ouano gloves. Its the same thing as listening to them announce the official beer or offical tires of the UFC.
