Dana White confirmed the decision to revert to the old UFC gloves, stating the new design was created to address issues but ultimately didn’t work as intended.
Jon Jones expressed his discomfort with the new gloves, citing that they required him to go up several sizes and felt relieved with the return to the original design.
The new gloves, aimed at reducing eye pokes and cranial trauma, performed poorly, with a significantly lower knockout rate compared to UFC averages.
White emphasized that despite their initial good intentions for the new gloves, the feedback from fighters indicated they were not well received, prompting the change.
