The new UFC gloves, which were debuted at UFC 302, were expected to reduce the frequency of eye pokes during fights. However, fighters reported multiple instances of eye pokes during the event, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the new design. While the gloves were praised for improved comfort and hand flexibility, they still fell short in addressing the dangerous and game-altering problem of eye gouging, with the focus seeming to be more on cuts and comfort rather than eye protection.
