Conor McGregor is highly impressed with Dana White and the UFC. As many might know by now, the UFC planned on unveiling new gear right after the UFC 300 press conference. In fact, after White unveiled a brand-new line of UFC gloves, McGregor came to his Instagram post to ask for a pair for himself!

Now, a video explaining the motivation behind the gloves and their functions has been released prompting yet another response from ‘The Notorious’. McGregor is currently away from the Octagon but that will certainly not stop him from trying to get his go at the gloves.

Conor McGregor saw the new gloves and immediately asked for the 12th pair to be given to him. The gloves are limited edition and only 25 pairs exist as of right now and most of them are being given away to Dana White’s closest friends and family.

In an explainer video, it was revealed that a golden pair of gloves will go to championship fights, and the ‘Gun Metal’ variant will be used in regular fights and much more. In response to the video, McGregor took on to his X handle. “Incredible! What a time to be alive!” he wrote. Are you also as impressed as ‘The Mac’?

The explainer video also told the world that there are three different types of gloves apart from the golden and the regular new version. These are the contender series gloves, TUF gloves, as well as a red pair of gloves. Will McGregor wear any of these for any reason? Not really, but here’s more on those.

Conor McGregor praises the “journey” for UFC athletes through gloves

Conor McGregor has shown his appreciation not only for the gloves but for the way that they will be utilized within the UFC. The red gloves, TUF gloves and the blue Contender Series gloves will all be given to the fighters on their “road” to the UFC.

The UFC wants to create a “journey” for their athletes coming into the organization. So there will be a system where the ‘Gun-Metal’ variant won’t be given to anyone until their time to shine has arrived. Conor McGregor, however, will likely fight in the normal version of these once he returns.

The gloves are also given away to White’s closest people which includes Joe Rogan who got the very second pair right after the UFC head honcho who received the first.
