Softest MMA Sparring Gloves: Fairtex Combat vs Combat Sports Max Strike vs Ring to Cage Deluxe MiM

- A review from my journey to find the softest sparring gloves in size Large, ended up being a choice between Fairtex Combat Sparring Gloves vs Combat Sports Max Strike MMA Gloves vs Ring to Cage Deluxe MiM Foam MMA Gloves. It turns out the Fairtex run small so an XL would be a size Large in those. The Combat Sport Max Strike are billed as the safest MMA sparring gloves and people say Fairtex is like getting hit with pilows, but I wanted to make sure. I tried to do as much research as possible for the softest MMA sparring gloves, but there was a lot of conflicting info and not many head-to-head matchups. Plus everything looks pretty much the same size online, which was pretty surprising seeing their size differences in person.
I think these would be great for Wing Chun sparring as well, which is what I mainly intend to use them for.
$30 where did you get them? Combats are now $69
Looks like they don't sell them cheap anymore, I got them at Karate Joe's which is the same as MMA Joe's. Honestly though after using them for 8 months they're worth $70, they're holding up great and if I had to re-buy them I definitely would. The Fairtex just sit around for the most part, I should've just returned those but I give them to sparring partners when their gloves are crappy.
GhostMMA if you wouldn't mind me asking without getting offended cuz I don't mean this in and offencive way how did you get into martial arts what got you to start martial arts reason why I ask is because a lot of guys get into martial arts versus boxing due to the fact that they're a little nerdy or dorky for lack of better terms and they're usually guys that are sitting in front of a keyboard at work not on RUclips and doing a lot of scientific stuff and they've gotten picked on throughout the years cuz of the way they sound or the way they talk and then they decided to just stand up for themselves and want to learn how to defend themselves so they get into martial arts instead of boxing because it usually encompasses all different types of physical training tools to defend yourself better no offense boxing fans but when I listen to you talk it reminds me of a lot of guys including myself who when someone hears as talk they think that were just dorky nerds who needed to learn to fight so if you can keep from getting offended which I please I beg you not to be offended by my question or my statement or what I'm picking up with my own intuition could you be willing to tell me how and why you got into martial arts
Haha not offended. I'm a dorky nerd who learned to fight. Some of the best jiu jitsu practitioners I've ever met are dorky nerds. I train at 10th Planet which is full of dorky nerds, if you have an academy near you it's worth checking out, you might feel right at home.

I really appreciate the in-depth analysis of striking "feel". Thanks for the insight!
Thank you this is the best mma sparring glove video I’ve seen and only thing on the whole internet that I’ve found that’s helpful. I’m boutta go get some right now cause my everlast gloves fell apart
thank you so much for this video! it helped ma big time cause i had to decide beteween the fairtex and combat sports and i couldnt find anything but shop-pictures!
I just orderd the combat sports max strike can not wait for them to arrive
THE combats are amazing i love them
Maybe the Ring to Cage ones would be okay for really light sparring?
Because usually those really thin padding gloves do well for light contact in my experience, basically feels like a pillow instead of hard rubber jamming your nose
Love that Gloves, Combat Sports Max Strike is the best Training MMA Gloves Ever
Did you find them hard to grapple with? (CSI gloves) j find they feel great but tough on some grappling cuz it doesnt let your wrist bend back at all . sanabul offers a cheap mma glove apparently also very good i saw joe rogan talk about them with tj epo dillashaw
Finally, a great mma glove review! So what's the verdict after months of usage?
EPSTomcat11 The CSI max strike MMA for sure, they've broken in well and my training partners love them. Also I vastly prefer sparring with friends who own them. The Fairtex have broken in more but at the end of the day there's just not as much cushion on them. I'd easily pay $60-80 for a new pair of CSI when these eventually crap out. So far no torn seams or anything either.
GhostMMA Awesome! good to know - thx for responding!
Thanks this video was recommended to me by youtube
Great vid! I just got my first heavy bag and am looking for gloves, what concerns me is that boxing gloves leave your thumb on the side of the fist and don’t appear to let you curl your thumb under your fist like is proper in a self defense situation Which could create a abad habit right?Do these gloves let you put your thumb in a proper bare knuckle fist for self defense, and would they be suitable for heavy bag work?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
not sure if youre still looking for an answer, but here it is. Boxing gloves generally have the attached thumb to prevent boxers from jamming their thumb into each other's eyes. Yes you might cultivate a habit of a looser fist which is horrible barehanded. you can try to get a bag mitt which generally either have a hooded or exposed thumb, that lets you make a really nice proper fist. but i would stick to boxing gloves as i dont want to hurt myself in training lol. besides, depending on the glove model the thumb placement will differ.
Hi Ghost I would like to order combat sport mma gloves but I absolutely don’t know how they size what is your advice please ?
Okay its been years. How long did they last?
Do you think the combat sports gloves can be used on the heavy bag?
The Fairtex MMA Gloves - FGV18 seems even better.
Does this review still hold true or is there something better now?
Have you taken a look at the new Everlast Prime striking gloves? I heard those were really good, and I'd like to try them out myself.
Those are boxing type gloves, these are open hand MMA gloves.
There's an open hand one as well that's used for MMA grappling and striking applications.

metallicaspiker16 Unfortunately, those are crap. You can feel the synthetic material is very flimsy.
Anh Tran Damn, and I thought about getting those too. Any other recommendations besides Fairtex and the Combat Sports ones?
metallicaspiker16 There are some FAIRTEX clones out there. I believe TITLE BOXING has created a few.
What size is that though?
hey really late question: isnt the Combat Sports gloves too bulky for grappling vs the Fairtex one?
Hey man im mainly a jiu jitsu person and im smaller like 5’8 130 and there not to bulky at all
What's the difference between combat sports max strike and sparring gloves?
TristanPlaysGames the max are more so intended for bag work and light sparring for mma fighters
What size are the Fairtex gloves in the video? I have small hands and I'm wondering if I should grab the Medium or Small...
They run a bit small imo, these were a Large but I ended up exchanging them for an XL
+GhostMMA ok thanks a lot! Going to order them right now! Amazon only has 2 left in stock at Medium lol.
+Austin Liu sounds like a plan, if you get a chance please update how they fit since I get that question a lot, thanks!
+GhostMMA ok no prob I'll try to remember to do that!
I ordered the the medium too. form the pics the pinky hole looks to be in the correct spot. (unlike most other gloves where they are too high)
Combat Sports is Ringside, right?
great review , i am looking to buy a pair , did you get them from amazon ?
I got them from Karate Joe's which is the same as MMA Joe's, but yeah only L and XL last I checked.
atran35 No issues at all, they've broken in really nicely and my sparring partners love them. I'm actually gonna get a second pair to loan out because I wanna love them just as much as they do since getting hit by most other gloves kind of sucks.
how about the hayabusa ikusa ones?
Those are more of a boxing type glove, these are more for striking but have open palms to still be able to go to the ground.
Do like the boxers wear 12 ounces with head gear and fight but obviously boxers use 16 ounces and over but you know.
Can i use handwraps with these?
Sure
They look like karate kumite gloves
where did u find the combat sports gloves for such a good price? walmart has them cheaper but they're out of stock and everywhere else I look online have them listed for $80+
I got them from Karate Joe's around 3 years ago, pretty sure that was some clearance price that's long gone... They're worth the higher prices imo, much happier sparring partners.
Hunter Buchanan my store is closing down and I got 2 pairs for 10$ a piece
GhostMMA local sears
I love mma
What gloves are good for heavy bag
bag gloves
Wrap your hands and use old leather work gloves
Ghost what is your knuckle width
~4"
The combat sports are the best, you must have found on special becuz they are around 70 and what most of the top ufc guys use . I found a pair of rival rs2v on special for 40 bux and they are 150 😂😂its great finding deals. I recently ordered the combat sports pair you show here and super pumped to get them!
Matt Trepanier the quality sucks bro after two practice the letters are gone
Should I wear wraps under the CSI gloves?
Nice informative video btw.
Johnathan H. Watson I wear those wrap gloves to keep them clean, but I also went without anything for months and they were fine. They fit snug so they don't eat your hands like bigger boxing sparring gloves.
Alright. Thank you. I was wondering if I should get bigger size.
+GhostMMA Love that Gloves, Combat Sports Max Strike is the best Training MMA Gloves Ever
Not only will the Fairtex outlast the other gloves by a long way they won’t smell like the cheap plastic ones!
worth the $60
Great review. It's hard to find any on mma gloves. You should be sponsored mate
Thanks! Happy to help, I figured a lot of people were asking themselves the same question
