Frequently asked questions
Why 4-ounce gloves?
It's the weight used in professional MMA fights. At the amateur level, each federation's rules set the approved model: check them before you buy.
Can you spar in 4 oz gloves?
It's not recommended: the padding is too thin to protect your partner. Clubs generally require 6 to 7 ounce gloves for sparring.
How long does a pair of fight gloves last?
Used for competition and a few prep sessions, they last several seasons. Daily use on the bag wears them out much faster.
