Alright, let’s talk about this. Saw Max Holloway rocking some new fight shorts recently. Pretty sharp, gotta say.
So, I was watching the fight, right? And Holloway walks out. First thing I noticed, honestly, were the shorts. Different design, looked kinda slick. My first thought was, “Huh, those are new.” Then, immediately after, “Wonder if I could get a pair?” Not necessarily to fight in, you know, but just for training or kicking around. They looked comfy.
My Search Begins
Next day, I had some time, so I figured I’d look ’em up. Fired up the computer, started searching. You know how it goes:
- Typed in “Max Holloway new fight shorts”.
- Scrolled through a bunch of images first, trying to get a good look at the design details.
- Checked out some MMA gear sites, the usual suspects.
- Looked on the official UFC store, thinking maybe they’d have replicas.
Finding the exact pair, the official ones he wore? Turned out to be trickier than I thought. Found some older designs, lots of fan stuff, but the specific new ones seemed elusive right off the bat. Maybe they were custom? Or just not released for sale yet. That happens sometimes.
Digging Deeper and What I Found
Okay, so the official ones were a bust, at least for now. But the search got me looking at other MMA shorts anyway. It’s easy to go down that rabbit hole. Started comparing different brands, different cuts. Some are super plain, some have wild designs like back in the day. It reminded me I actually did need some new training shorts, mine are getting pretty worn out.
Spent a good hour just clicking around. Saw some similar styles, some with cool patterns, others just basic black ones which are always reliable. Weighed the options. Did I want something flashy like Holloway’s or just something practical?
The End Result
In the end, I didn’t actually snag the Holloway shorts. Couldn’t find the real deal easily, and I wasn’t about to buy some cheap knock-off that would fall apart. Plus, the price on some of the high-end official fighter gear can be pretty steep, you know?
But the whole process made me reassess my own gear. I ended up ordering a couple pairs of shorts from a brand I’ve used before. Not the Holloway ones, but solid, reliable shorts that I know will hold up during training. They arrived a few days later, tried them out, felt good. So, while I didn’t get Max’s shorts, seeing them definitely pushed me to finally replace my old raggedy ones. Sometimes, that’s just how it works out.
