How Much Should My MMA Gloves Weigh?

MMA Gloves used in competitions should weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 oz. to 8 oz., with the majority of leagues mandating 6 oz. gloves. Bag gloves and Training gloves, especially those used for sparring, should be considerably thicker (and thus heavier) then this. These types of gloves can weigh as much as 20 oz.
