It sounds crazy but it’s basically a professional fight club at that point 😂

[blickyuh]

Joe been saying this but he doesn’t consider the fact that them hands be breaking during every fight. Plus it’s just too gruesome so it turn people away

[Mecanotech]

I'm all for what makes this sport safer for participants brains and longevity.

[keithtowers]

Joe should know the gloves are to protect the bones in the hand not to protect the person receiving the punch.

[loganfingers]

Being fair i fought alot as a young man, , , I can CATEGORICALLY state that I'd MUCH prefer to eat a few combos to the head n body from fists than being caught flush with any elbows or knees 100%😂

It’s safer too. Less brain damage. Every other injury, lacerations bruises swelling blunt force trauma muscle tears and bone breaks. Those heal, CTE doesn’t.

[TysisReoo-ithi]

He literally answered his own question

[ZakkEstep]

I wish I could talk to Joe Rogan and say this the reason why is bc look at a fighter after a bare knuckle fight and a padded one I think that speaks for itself

[Zigzagreg]

cuz its not about making it safe but making it look safe

[darkdrake]

Smaller bones than shins knees and elbows. Break easier. Padding prevents that.

[lukemehalick]

The gloves are to protect your small bones (knuckles) not the big ones (skull)

[Averyplaykeeps]

This deserves 100x more views than what it has🔥

[Nosange]

We are getting closer and closer to the Coliseum and i like it

[ShareefusMaximus]

It's not to protect the person getting hit. It's to protect the person doing the hitting. People want to see what they always think of when they think of a fight, punching. If there were no gloves there would either be less punching or way more broken hands.

[negotiator]

IT'S ALL BECAUSE HANDS MOSTLY COME STRAIGHT AT THE FACE NOISE, EYES, MOUTH, THROAT ETC!!! LEGS CAN KICK BUT KICKS ARE GLANCING MANY TIMES EVEN WHEN THEY LAND AND KNOCKOUT PEOPLE!! ELBOWS CAN CUT THE FACE BUT USUALLY THEIR COMING IN FROM SIDES ETC....👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

[damonc]

Its not about your hands people...its to prevent cutting and people gushing all over the venue everytime.

[NakThai]

The gloves in combat sports seems to have three main purposes which are contradictonary:
1. Protect the fighters hands.
2. Moral protection - so it looks safer and less bloody.
3. More finishes and wilder fights.

Old school boxing fights could be insanely long, the gloves helped make the fights more entertaining and made finishes easier but to the untrained eye it still looks safer and less brutal.

[whoamiJVJ]

It's for the longevity of the fighter and events.

[Royalty]

Oh the damage from knuckles can be scary and dangerous.

[Jebronjarden]

Maybe hands are protected because they are the most fragile part that you use for striking while being the part that you use the most for it. It 100 percent makes sense
