The UFC heavyweight striker has finally found shorts he wants to spend the rest of his life wearing

REVGEAR HAIDATE FIGHT SHORTS

“I love these shorts. Normally I have a real tough time finding shorts that fit me, but these are great, and the only ones that fit my waist, my legs and my ass comfortably. I’ll be wearing these shorts for the rest of my life hopefully.”

ALIENWARE T-SHIRT

“I’ll happily rock any T-shirt for training, but right now, today, I’m wearing one from Alienware which is a huge sponsor of MMA athletes.”

WINNING BOXING GLOVES

“I’ve worn this brand of gloves for a while, and I use the big 18oz gloves the most as they allow me to really throw big punches whilst keeping the other guy safe.”

BOIL-and-BITE GUMSHIELD

“I only use $2 mouthpieces from Walmart. And I’ve had the same one for years now. Again, I think psychologically I’m thinking I don’t need a state of the art mouthpiece ‘cos I don’t plan on getting hit!”

NO HEAD GUARD

“I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody else, but I’ve never worn headgear as it makes me get sloppy with my head movement.”

TWINS SHIN GUARDS

“I either wear Twins or Windy shin guards, simply because they’re what I always have. They’re both true Muay Thai brands… The Windy ones are the most comfortable though.”

UFC MMA GLOVES

“I like to train in the same gloves that I fight in for obvious reasons. The ones I have right now are a bit busted up though, but I know I’ll be getting another pair for my next fight, so it works out nicely.”

ENERGY DRINKS

“I’m always carrying an energy drink, some kind of high-caffeine energy shot or another. I’m always drinking Red Bulls and shots, and now I’m even chewing Jolt energy gum too.”
