The maker is so good, in fact, it is sometimes hard to keep them on the shelves. They sell out fast but are worth the wait.

These shorts are not the ones for you if you are into right fitting shorts. Sprawl shorts fit loose, a style introduced in 2002 that is clearly working for them.

If you like the tight fitting shorts, then these are not the shorts for you. Sprawl shorts fit loose which is a style they introduced in 2002 that stuck.

They have great MMA names to back their claims: Forrest Griffin, Matt Serra, Kenny Florian, Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick, Joe Lauzon, Joe Stevenson, Nate Quarry, Rob McCullough, Cung Le and many more.

Types of Shorts

Sprawl wanted to launch a board short originally but the short was so low cut, it would not stay up very well. The shorts came untied and were so heavy they gave the opponent something to hang on to which is not good in MMA.

The creators wanted something other than a Spandex fabric. While some MMA fighters still opt for Spandex, you have to admit these are much cooler!

It isn’t hard to see that the shorts took off! Now they have hit the big time and are seen in UFC bouts and on UFC fighters everywhere.

The creators cut down the shorts as well. so that nothing extra was on them.

It was in the 5th generation fight short Sprawl came up with the ‘grip-zones’ and also added 4 way stretch. Then in the 6th generation short…blood and sweat resistance!
