UFC young gun Arnold Allen reveals his prized collection of wild mouth guards

A. Fight shorts

“When I’ve been in training recently I’ve been wearing Almighty Fightwear shorts. I like them because that’s also my nickname. They’ve got some cool tie-dye colors and I also wore them for my last fight before I entered into the UFC.”

B. Mouth guard

“I’ve got a few from Funky Gums. I had a load with animals on them – all sorts of weird ones like chickens and stuff. The sheep was the best but I think I threw it into the crowd after one of my fights and I lost it.”

C. Boxing gloves

“I use Ampro boxing gloves. They’re lace-up and they protect your hands well. I also wear Rival sometimes too. I like to mix it up and I’ve never had an injury wearing either of them.”

D. Hand wraps

“When it comes to wrapping my hands I always use Ampro’s. They’re like normal canvas wraps, but they’re also partly foam-padded. They’re really good.”

E. Shin guards

“I’ve worn a pair of Throwdown ones for a long time. I’ve also just got a pair from Revgear, but they’re new so they need a little breaking in.”

F. Revgear bag

“I had a Fighters Only one (laughs). But I’m using a Revgear one at the minute, only I’m one-strapping it because one strap snapped off.”

G. Supplements

“I use Effectiv’s whey protein. They do some pretty sweet flavors. They’ve got a cinnamon swirl and it actually tastes pretty much like cinnamon swirl.”
