Training Shirt:

Most MMA fighters used specialized compression shirts, called Rashguards, to train. Rash guards are not regular compression shirts. Ground training techniques have required that these shirts provide reinforced seams and stitching, with additional panels to support the additional stress placed on the shirt during training while continuing to provide the benefits provided by regular compression shirts.

In addition to rash guards, several promotions like the UFC, regularly provide sponsors with the ability to advertise their brands using t-shirts during the weigh-in events and competition. These shirts have been title as “Walk-out” shirts by many because they are used by fighters while being presented for their fight as they walk towards the cage. These shirts are sold to the public as a means for the fans to support their favorite fighters.

MMA gloves and MMA shorts (similar to the shorts worn in boxing and Muay Thai) are the only piece of clothing allowed to be worn during professional MMA competitions. This type of clothing is often referred to as nightwear to differentiate it from MMA fashion clothing which includes t-shirts, hoodies, caps, and hats. However, Amateur MMA, regulated by FILA, requires head guards, knee pads and shin-instep.

There are various types of MMA fight shorts, including board shorts, shorts which extend halfway down the thigh, shorts which extend only slightly down the thigh and gladiator shorts which feature slits in the sides of the legs.

Several clothing brands have developed their own lines of MMA apparel including Affliction Clothing, one of them is Samak International.
