So it looks like the new gloves are out starting this event, which happens to coincide with Bones getting back in the Octagon.

Jon Jones didn’t like new UFC gloves, calls it ‘a major relief’ to have old gloves for UFC 309

Jon Jones is glad he gets to use the old UFC gloves when he fights Stipe Miocic at UFC 309.

Dana White privilege. Only for Jonny.

Seemed like the fighters preferred the new ones. Or didn't think it matters. Jon must suffer from extreme anxiety, always analyzing and angling over every detail.

We didn't really see a decrease in the number of eye pokes with the new gloves anyways. I mean it was only a couple events ago that someone got away with four or five eye pokes in a single fight, with zero warning or point deduction.

Guess someone will have to lose an eye before the UFC actually does something about the gloves.

Wasn't from an eyepoke though.

Wasn't from an eyepoke though.

That's how it started. Against Alan Belcher. Then he poked him back.

Somewhere... Trevor Whitman is waiting...

So what now?

Just use the old gloves after spending that much time and money on the new ones?

What is the reasoning behind the change?

[Rambo John J]

He was using extended fingers the entire fight, which was shady as usual. Herb Dean blows.
I don't recall a warning or anything.

Then he poked him back.

BEEP!

watched the video of this punch, ill post it too
the jab was coming straight at stipes face, dead center, he slipped to the left, to avoid the punch, and this is how it landed
