pride gloves

whats up guys. . .dont know if this is the right section to be placing this thread. my question is does anyone know who makes the gloves that everyone wears in pride and where can you buy them.

 

I've tried looking for some not so long ago; not because I wanted to buy a pair, but simply because I was interested to see the design of them and see a picture of them closer up I can't remember who it was who made them, but im sure I can find out.


On the Pride website, there is the following question answered:

So the answer to your initial question is no Not just yet

 

Yeah well you better live in Japan or America where they sell it.
I went to the Pride FC website....guys were charging $50 just to send it. The T-shirt costs only lik $20, so thats like $70 for T-shirt.

Though it was Sak's Barcode tee so I almost did...then I found out my little sister is going to Japan, so she's getting a small shopping list

 

Is that the "Where there's a will..." tshirt?

 

No, but thats the one he usually wears to the ring though.

I wanted this one -

I may try to get a friend in America to get it for me, as it would only be $7 rather $45 for shipping.

 

I know DSE gives them out but I'm not sure who makes them. You can buy those style gloves on sherdog.com though. They come in yellow and black.

 

They are not the same gloves as those feauted in Pride; The ones on Sherdog are the Ouano gloves featured in UFC

In the Sakuraba vs Vovchanchin fight, you get a clear view of the brand written on the gloves, called "Xing".

 

thanks guys. . .a buddy of mine is getting ready to fight his first cage fight so i thought it would be a nice gift, he is a big pride fan. . .ill keep my eyes open for them to come to the states soon.

 

It's a great gift idea I presume the compitition rules allow only a stated brand of fight gloves?

 

what about the Kanehara vs Silva fight i read the logo said something FromR

 

the hunter gloves are pride like, there the same style with laces and velcro.

Yes, the Hunter gloves do look very smiliar I never knew hunter made fight gloves...

 

Ohhh, those Hunter's are pretty, especially in the red. I think I need a pair for "spare" in case my Fairtex's die on me. Either that or I just want a pair

 

I was told that UFC are soon to be changing from Ouano gloves, to those pretty fairtex ones that you've got

And as for the Hunter gloves, i can barely do up my shoe laces! let alone a pair of gloves

 

That's a good idea. The Ouano's are pants, it feels like having a brick taped to your hand they're so stiff. I bet you'll never see any freak Belfort/ Couture cuts from a Fairtex

 

Don't forget tony fryukland.
and arent' the pride gloves just MMA gloves?

 

See, Tony got a nasty cut....

 

Yes, I'm aware of Mr Fryukland's cut, and his work. It didn't come from the poorly designed seam of an Ouano glove though, did it?
There are many variants of MMA gloves and no one's quite sure which company makes the official Pride gloves, which sucks because I want a pair

 

Tony needed a plaster after that

You've got a pair of Fairtex gloves though? is that not enough?

 

You'd think so, really, wouldn't you Like I say, you've always gotta have some spares! I daresay I won't get any new gloves until it looks like the current ones are on their last legs which considering the quality of them, won't be for quite a while
