UFC 332's Low Blow and Why You Need a Shift-Proof Jock
At UFC 332 on October 3, Jacobe Smith caught Bruce Whitehead with a knee to the groin in a first-round clinch. Whitehead kept fighting, and Smith finished him by TKO at 1:32 of the round. Fans are still debating whether the foul decided the fight (EssentiallySports).
There's one thing nobody's debating: that's a shot you don't want to take with your protection out of position.
Your cup has one job
The Unified Rules of MMA require male fighters to wear groin protection. A cup's job is to take the impact and spread it out. It can only do that if it's where it belongs when the shot lands.
Combat sports are hard on gear. Kicks, sprawls, scrambles and clinch work all pull protection out of place. When your cup moves, you get gaps right where you need coverage, and you end up adjusting mid-round instead of focusing on the fight.
Four straps. Zero distractions.
The Diamond MMA jock is built around our shift-proof quad strap design. Four strategically placed straps hold the cup snug against your body, keeping it centered and locked in through kicks, knees, sprawls and scrambles. The compression fit is comfortable enough to wear every session, not just on fight night.
Less adjusting. More fighting.
A cup built for real impact
The Diamond MMA cup is just as intentional. Its custom geometry is shaped to fit your body and cover you from every angle of impact. A polycarbonate core gives it strength, and a co-molded elastomer rim helps deflect a strike and spread the force across the cup instead of concentrating it in one spot.
Put the two together and you get protection that stays where it belongs, even when you don't.
Run the test
Grab your current setup. Throw a few kicks. Sprawl. Fire off some knees. If you're reaching down to fix it afterward, it isn't protecting you the way it should.
Low blows are going to happen. Make sure your protection is locked in when one does.
