15 Must-Buy Holiday Gifts for the MMA Fan in Your Life
The holiday season is quickly coming to a close, and if you still haven't done your Christmas shopping, time and supplies are running out!
Shopping for an MMA fan can be particularly time consuming, as for most people, brands mean everything. Even worse, you have to make sure to avoid the gear with all their hated fighters on it.
Lucky for you, B/R has you covered for buying any last-minute gifts. Whether they're training to step in the cage, just trying to get fit or want to look good in foil, there's a gift out there for the MMA fan in your life.
Throwdown Hybrid Stand-Up Fitness Gloves
1 of 15For a lot of people, their first taste of MMA is by doing kickboxing classes at their local gym. The circuit-type training is a good workout for beginners, and these gloves are quite the steal.
Normally priced at $49.99, they're now priced at $29.99.
Throwdown is a pretty respected name in the combat world, and these gloves are sure to last longer than the ones you could pick up from a local sporting goods store.
Venum Kontact Gel Hand Wraps
2 of 15Thinking of going a few rounds on the heavy bag to build some strength and take out some stress?
Make sure you wrap your hands to avoid any sore knuckles, or worse, a broken hand.
The average person who takes up boxing/kickboxing isn't likely to know how to properly wrap their hands, which could lead to injuries even if they wrap up. The gel wraps make it so anyone can protect their hands no matter what skill level.
I use these in my own training, and they have worked wonders with protection and saving time from having to wrap and unwrap.
Fight Chix on Top T-Shirt
3 of 15Is your lady friend screaming at the TV louder than you are during the fights? If so, it may be time to get her some MMA apparel.
This Fight Chix shirt meets a number of criteria for a girl to consider wearing it.
For one, it's a brand based around girls, so you know they only make stuff girls would wear. And secondly, it's plain enough to wear as a casual shirt, but also girly enough to wear out when hitting the party scene.
The sexual innuendo doesn't hurt, either.
Throwdown Grappling Shin and Instep Guards
4 of 15As most fighters will tell you, getting kicked hurts. What hurts even more is getting your kick "checked" and having the feeling of deep bruising going up and down your shin.
Prevent the bruising buy ordering the Throwdown Grappling Shin and Instep guards. Not only do they protect your shin and the tiny bones on top of your feet, but they can also be used to grapple in should you be in a full MMA sparring session.
They're only $29.99, and considering they used to be priced at twice that, consider these a deal.
RVCA Big RVCA Raglan Shirt
5 of 15So you want to buy your man an MMA shirt but don't want to go overboard with the design? Check out this shirt from RVCA.
It's simple, but still has a touch of fashion. All of the color options look good, and the 3/4 sleeve look is in.
Plus, the RVCA brand is one that transcends multiple sports and social groups, so it can be a multipurpose shirt.
Alistair Overeem UFC 141 Walkout Shirt
6 of 15When Alistair Overeem makes his much-anticipated UFC-debut, you'll want to make sure you're wearing this shirt.
Being someone who believes Overeem will beat Brock and have a successful UFC career, Overeem's shirt is likely to be a big seller following UFC 141.
Wearing the shirt would show people you have style, as most people aren't likely to know this shirt is even available until after the event.
TapouT World Collection Canada Shirt
7 of 15So you're Canadian, eh?
Well, let me tell you all aboot this TapouT Canadian shirt. It's the perfect shirt for that Canadian fan in your life.
They don't have to be the 1,000th person walking down the street with a GSP shirt on and can still show their Canadian pride.
Plus, as a bonus on mmawarehouse.com, you can buy one TapouT item and get another at 50 percent off.
Headrush Knuckles Hoodie
8 of 15Besides bundling up with layers of clothing, a way to stay warm is with this Headrush Knuckles Hoodie.
The front design isn't overbearing, and there's also a design on the back. It only comes in red, but it's not like it would be hard to find matching accessories to the color red.
Also, it's fairly cheap for a hoodie at only $22.99.
Dethrone Pinstripe Snapback Hat
9 of 15With me not being a fan of snapbacks, it is hard to endorse this item. But snapbacks are on the comeback trail.
One thing I will say about the snapbacks is, I can appreciate the old school logos the hats have been using.
This Dethrone Royalty hat not only has an old-school logo (even though it's not), it has pinstripes. Can't go wrong with pinstripes.
Bad Boy MMA Starter Kit
10 of 15For those YouTube warriors out there, Bad Boy has an MMA starter kit.
The kit includes a pair of striking mitts, grappling mitts that double as striking gloves and a jump rope to get a cardio work out.
This gift is perfect for those people who can't afford a gym membership and want to get started with their training.
TapouT Infant Two-Piece I Love Tapout Layette Set
11 of 15Might as well get them started young.
Get your infant started out on the right path by buying this baby bundle that includes a long-sleeved onesie and a cap.
An added bonus is, after you purchase the package for $21.99, you can get another TapouT item for 50 percent off.
Bad Boy Repeat Youth Tee
12 of 15Any true MMA fan knows that brands like TapouT and Affliction are too common to be busting out like you have fresh swagger.
The Bad Boy Repeat shirt helps your little son look good while walking the halls of school.
Everyone knows how cruel kids can be. Make sure your kid isn't the one being made fun of this holiday season.
Tri Coasta Lawlormania
13 of 15As most of you know, there's a big crossover of fans from WWE to the UFC.
You don't even have to be a wrestling fan to know who Hulk Hogan is, and every MMA fan knows that Tom Lawlor is always good for a laugh even if he's not a great fighter.
Relive some of the great "Lawlor Moments" with his Lawlormania shirt that's exactly like the 1980's Hulkamania shirts.
Whatcha gonna do brother, when Lawlormania runs wild on you?
Shock Doctor Pro Mouthguard
14 of 15Need a stocking stuffer? Look no further than a basic mouthguard.
It's the most basic training equipment, but the one people most often to forget to invest in. Although dropping some money on training gear makes you look good, it won't protect you very much.
A Shock Doctor mouthguard isn't expensive, but it will prevent a lot of dental work.
Elevation Training Mask
15 of 15For that fighter in training that wants to take their game to the next level, buy them the Elevation Training Mask.
The mask mimics high level altitude by controlling the amount of air you breathe in while working out.
As someone who's used something similar to this, it will drastically alter your workouts for the better. The mask is a little pricey, but you won't be complaining once you see your opponent gas out before you even break a sweat.
