Conor McGregor believes Wednesday’s ruling of the Nevada State Athletic Commission to permit 8 oz. gloves for his Aug. 26 with Floyd Mayweather gives him a significant advantage.

The 2014 paper outlines a single experiment in which a 16-ounce boxing glove and a 4-ounce MMA-style glove hit a sensor every 1.8-seconds for about five hours and a total of 10,000 strikes each.

And Jones, 51-years-old, was last seen in action in early 2018. Sulaiman wants to see more safety protocols - with both boxers wearing 16 or 18 ounce gloves, and the use of headgear.
