hello everybody,

I dont think they use real leather for very many of the mma gloves. Im pretty sure its all man made. Granted there are some out there but im thinking it would be kinda expensive to make leather mma gloves considering they only use them once.

The ufc fight gloves are leather,i would hazard a guess that Mac just uses them as they are what availiable? it is much cheaper to make leather gloves due to amount of leather avaliable sadly.

UFC does make some vinyl copies of the fight glove they use,the are slightly different but very good.But these are not used in the offical fights.Maybe they did a special pair for Mac when he was fighting but i doubt it.Being in a combat sport gym you will often be around leather gear( kick pads,some bags,shin guards,gloves etc).thankfully a l,ot more companies are making non leather training gear these days .
In my experience the majority of mma gloves are leather,there is a post on this forum with links to non leather mma gloves.

No matter how Vegan we are we still have to live are lives so there's no way to competely avoid killing things. We just have to minimize as much as possibile
