Phantom RIOT MMA Sparring Gloves 6 oz – PU Training Gloves for MMA, Grappling & Sparring
Phantom RIOT MMA Sparring Gloves – Protection, Control and Freedom of Movement
The Phantom RIOT MMA Sparring Gloves have been developed for intensive MMA training, grappling, controlled sparring, and technical partner drills. They combine the freedom of movement of classic grappling gloves with significantly more substantial padding in the striking area.
The pre-shaped main padding supports a secure fist closure and helps to better protect your hands, fingers, and training partners during sparring. The anatomically cut thumb protection, finger coverage, and strong wrist strap ensure a stable fit during training.
For MMA, Grappling and Sparring
These MMA gloves are particularly suitable for athletes who do not want to sacrifice grip work, clinching, takedown attempts, and ground fighting during sparring. At the same time, the thick padding offers more protection than very light competition or bag gloves.

Why these gloves are useful for sparring
In MMA sparring, gloves need to do more than just serve as striking gloves. They should allow for freedom of movement, permit grips, and simultaneously provide support for the hand during controlled contact. The Phantom RIOT gloves are therefore a great choice for training sessions that combine striking techniques, grappling, and ground fighting.
