Every Banned Accessory in MMA Explained in 10 Minutes

In this video, we break down the most dangerous and controversial banned accessories in MMA — and why they’re illegal inside the octagon. From loaded hand wraps that turn punches into concrete, to tampered gloves capable of causing permanent injuries, these violations go far beyond simple rule-breaking.

We’ll walk through the specific dangers of loaded wraps, non-padded gloves, illegal greasing, IV rehydration, diuretics, and performance-enhancing drugs, explaining how each one creates an unfair advantage and puts fighters’ lives at risk. We’ll also cover the strange but infamous bans, including Speedo-style shorts and the end of personal sponsors inside the UFC.

You’ll see real MMA and UFC examples — how glove tampering destroyed careers, why excessive Vaseline changed the outcome of championship fights, how the IV ban reshaped weight cutting, and why PED suspensions have stripped titles and legacies.

This isn’t about what’s allowed in MMA — it’s about what’s forbidden. The illegal advantages that end careers, trigger suspensions, and turn the octagon into a serious health hazard.

Every rule exists for a reason.
