From spandex to board shorts. I'm no UFC watcher but I can guess that they used to wear spandex, but now they wear board shorts. Unless it's just up to them and some do wear spandex sometimes and others wear board shorts.

I'm pretty sure they just wear these board shorts over spandex shorts. I'm also thinking it's just the style now.

I love how you act exactly the same when somebody says Valve sucks.
I do?

I can't remember the last time someone actually said Valve sucks because well...that's just impossible. Like, the space time continuum would rip.

Gotta look fashionable when you're kickin' ass. :D

I never said anything about them being gay either. Strung is just blind with rage while defending his holy sport of holiness. But I would like to know...why spandex in the first place? And why the switch?


Quote from MiniMan
Maybe they switched to board shorts because the spandex turned on one of the fighters and they had to keep it hush hush.


Pretty much what you were implying.

And to answer your question, it gives them more mobility so that it's easier to kick and work the high guard. The reason that most people switched is because there is more room for sponsors on board shorts, which brings in more money for the fighters. They can wear whichever shorts they prefer.

Also Real, I have no problem with you or anything that you said. I was mainly just setting it straight for the people that don't follow the sport.

Hmm, they need something that allows a lot of movement but at the same time has enough space for advertising...

They could wear thongs, use temporary tattoos for advertisingz
Or...
Spandex...PANTS

But that doesn't look like it'd be comfortable to kick and move around in. So maybe they can be modified to be a tad looser. That'd be plenty of advertising space.

He may be good, but I am so much better. I am massive with a 6 pack. My muscles are so big, that even Xenu in his prime couldn't take me down.

i've always liked UFC and how everyone fights in it. I like the fighting style. But I use some indian/arabian defensive style that makes your opponent collapse in around the first few hits. I forgot the name though.

What do you mean, you use a style? How could you possibly not know the name of the sport you are practicing?
