4 Oz Gloves

4oz gloves are the lightest fight gloves used in competition. Primarily designed for MMA, these minimalist gloves offer just enough knuckle protection to satisfy athletic commission requirements while allowing the finger dexterity needed for grappling, submissions, and ground work.

Unlike boxing gloves which lock your hand into a fist, 4oz MMA gloves feature an open-palm design with individual finger loops. This lets you open your hands to grip, post, and grab — essential for the wrestling and jiu-jitsu elements of MMA. The light weight also means faster hands on the feet, which is why many MMA strikers prefer 4oz gloves for pad work and technical sparring.

Professional MMA organisations including the UFC mandate 4oz gloves for competition. At MMA Fight Store, we stock 4oz gloves from Hayabusa, Engage, RDX, and Venum — all meeting competition standards. Whether you are preparing for your first amateur fight or you are a pro adding to your fight kit, find the pair that fits your hands and your game.
