@Phillip said gloves are designed. Trevor Whitman just won't give up ownership to the UFC. Rightfully so but the UFC would rather not use a better product at all than to let someone else own the product. If they can't buy it then they just stick with the terrible UFC glove. There are plenty of smaller promotions around the world with better gloves

Ok this is how I'm going to pick this one I think if it goes to the cards D.C wins. If it's stoped at any point. Stipe Wins. But as much as hate when there isn't a true champ I hope D.C wins and the ufc does a7 man torny . 1vs6 2vs4 3v5. And Stipe gets a 1st round by and fights the winner of 3vs5. I guess it is what it is. It this is what I'd do as the UFC. Could make mad money on ppv and it makes the most sense

You could film a horror movie at Stipes place xD
who doesn't agree that Stipes home looks like a haunted mansion where there is a lot of potential for creepy **** coming down soon if it didn't already happen?? xD

I'm so sick of the **** bout the eye pokes my goodness it happens d.c isnt doin it intentionally and I do hope d.c wins. But if you guys remember d.c said the same **** bout Jones that he was an eye poker. This glove is the staright up the dumbest **** for the ufc there is so much better gloves out the goodness sake just Google it. So the ufc would have to pay someone to use there gloves so we know how cheap the ufc is by how much there fighters make so the glove stayes. It is what it is. Ig

@TheHitman: Well you see, a bunch of guys who have never fought, and probably think soccer fouls are a travesty to mankind, started watching MMA. And why wouldn't they, these tough tap-out wearing chads could probably beat all the UFC fighters on the "streets". And these chads know based on the replays from fights they probably haven't watched all the way through, that DC would never win without his intentional life-altering eye gouges. Despite no eye pokes occurring most of the rounds he won against Stipe. Who are we to question them? We're merely filthy casuals to these immortal affliction youtube keyboard warrior chads.

P.S. MMA gloves are cancer in the UFC (and at the regional scene). If you do train, go but a preorder in on at ONX. Whittman's 16oz gloves are literally like a pocket p*ssy for your hands. I can't wait until his MMA gloves are available to the masses.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 6 of 11 Winners, 6 Perfect, 500 Points | 345th Place

Miocic vs. Cormier III
Stipe Miocic, DEC
Stipe is the greatest HW of all time in UFC, this is a pick 'em i think its split decision either way. DC to come out strong and Miocic to take the last 3 rounds.

O'Malley vs. Vera
Sean O'Malley, DEC
Marlon is being hugely underestimated in this one. Been a fan since he beat One Punch and showed class. But i gotta take Suga

dos Santos vs. Rozenstruik
Junior dos Santos, TKO, R1
Junior to dodge the first punch and smother on the floor

Dodson vs. Dvalishvili
Merab Dvalishvili, DEC
Dodson to complain at least once a round for a mystery foul

Miller vs. Pichel
Jim Miller, SUB, R1
Millers a legend, hope he wins

Daukaus vs. Porter
Christopher Daukaus, TKO, R1
1st round either guy

Velcro, I honestly CBA with laces. My wrestling shoes are already too many laces for me.
