MMA Gloves

A Look at Various MMA Glove Manufacturers

“I’ve been in the fight game for over 30 years and accumulated a wealth of knowledge. I took my personal experience as a former kickboxer plus my years of protecting fighters and I applied that knowledge to my job, and now to gear as well.  For years I’ve said “they should do this” or “they should make it like that”, so now I specifically set out to correct all the design defects in the gear fighters and trainers have been using.  I didn’t re-invent the wheel, but I made small, critical improvements and kept them affordable!  I think you’ll immediately feel the difference in comfort and quality when you’re using my gear.  While I used nice leathers, strong stitching (of course!), ergonomic forms, and engineered foam, I kept the price under control.  Anyway, I hope you’re as pleased with this gear as I am proud to put my name on them!  -Jacob “Stitch” Duran

If you’re a boxer or mixed martial arts fighter and you’re bleeding, Jacob Duran is the man you want in your corner.

Known simply as Stitch throughout the sport, the 55-year-old Duran is an elite cutman. His job is to help look after the safety of fighters while allowing them to do what they do best.

“It’s an odd trade, it’s a great trade,” Duran told The Canadian Press in an interview prior to Saturday night’s UFC 67: All or Nothing card at the Mandalay Bay. “I think I’ve the best job in the world.”

Review For Stitch Duran MMA Gear (from the Internet)

“I own a ton of stitch duran gear, these are THE best mma gloves from this brand

These have a full open palm, no bridge between the thumb/rest of hand, makes for a true ufc style glove, these are top quality competition gloves

For pro events I would recommend these since they have better stitching (literally) than the UFC brand gloves, these are built better”

At 56, Stitch—everyone calls him Stitch—is the most famous cutman in the world because he is the principal cutman of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and its subsidiary, WEC. And mixed martial artists separate themselves from other athletes in many ways, most notably in how often they bleed. Stitch has risen on that ugly tide like a boat. He discovered kickboxing in 1974 while stationed in Thailand with the Air Force. After he returned to northern California, he opened a kickboxing school in Fairfield, where he first tried his hand at closing cuts. By 1995 he’d migrated to Las Vegas, drawn to the glow, and found full-time work as a boxing cutman. (He still freelances for several boxers, including Wladimir Klitschko.) When MMA took over town, Stitch became the company man, put on contract by the UFC in 2001 to work most of its events, including Nov. 15’s Randy Couture-Brock Lesnar heavyweight title fight. For tonight’s event alone, he’s been assigned the 10 fighters coming out of the red corner. A lot of them get cut when they report for work at Blood Inc.

Stitch Duran MMA Gloves and Gear are low cost, high quality gear that are perfect for new and serious mixed martial artist who want to hone their craft to enter the Octagon.
