With this in mind, the UFC CEO recently launched a collection of only 25 exclusive special edition gloves, each featuring a unique design and vibrant color.

White said in the video:

"We just launched our new UFC fight gloves. They’re launching this weekend, the weekend of UFC 300, and I’ve created 25 limited-edition gloves, trust me when I say this, these things are so bad*ss. I’m giving them to the 25 of my closest friends and the people that I know. Sorry, unfortunately, I’m getting No. 1, [Joe] Rogan’s getting No. 2."

White also revealed that fans have the opportunity to win a pair of these coveted gloves. Among the limited 25 pairs, numbers 15, 19, and 22 have been set aside specifically for lucky fans.
