I don't think I've ever disagreed with Joe, but this take is so wrong, there are WAY worse injuries in bare knuckle than in the UFC because they don't have gloves. Gloves protect fighters' faces from extreme blunt force trauma as well as protect the fighters' hands. To think that there are more injuries because of gloves is completely absurd. I love watching UFC, but bare knuckle is a bit to far for me IMO. The injuries they sustain from bare knuckle is just gross and unnecessary. We already have MMA with GLOVES! That's enough, I don't understand why bare knuckle is even allowed, maybe underground, but not mainstream. It just hurts to watch and don't know why fighters are willing to fuck up their bodies, possibly for life. And the reason we have gloves for hands and not for elbows, shins etc is because there are way more bones in the hand, and it can generate way more leverage/power then an albow and you don't have to be in close to throw a punch but for an elbow you do. And a punch is so much power in such a small area (like stepping on a single nail or a bed of nails). Would you rather fight bare knuckle or with gloves for sport? I'm sure most people would say gloves. This is such a ridiculous take 😂
What if we had elbow pads instead of gloves
This woman is so dumb omg
7:19 Did she say she was in his mouth???😅
Jk
Gloves and handwraps allow fighters to tee off and spam full power punches that they would not throw if their hands were not protected.
