UFC Introduces New Gloves to Improve Safety and Aesthetics, Debuting in June

The UFC is set to roll out redesigned gloves at UFC 302, featuring enhanced safety features and distinct colors for different types of fights.

The new UFC gloves, debuting at UFC 302 on June 1, aim to reduce eye pokes and hand injuries.
Dana White announced the gloves after years of feedback, featuring a tighter fit and advanced materials to enhance safety.
Gold gloves will be used in title fights, adding a visual flair, while standard bouts will use gun metal colored gloves.
The gloves include technology like NFC chips for authentication and are lighter with improved padding for better protection.
The redesign was tested during Dana White’s Contender Series and received positive feedback from fighters and coaches.
