Something I’ve noticed when watching some MMA fighters is that some appear to be wearing wrong kind of MMA grappling shorts for their body type. What I basically mean is that their shorts do not fit their body which might hinder their performance.

For example a short stocky fighter who is wearing some long baggy shorts might experience slightly more difficulty when throwing a roundhouse kick. Reason being that the crotch or the shorts might be slightly lower causing his range of motion to be slightly hindered. While he might still be able to fully extend the kick, it might take him slightly longer to execute it since the shorts might hinder extension of the leg. This is the last thing you want to do since a split second might be the only thing your opponent needs to block or avoid the kick!

Therefore, in order to optimize your kicks be sure you have MMA grappling shorts that fit your body!

If you’re serious about competing in MMA, then you need to get yourself a serious pair of grappling shorts! The SPRAWL brand has been around for quite a while and has made a name for itself among the pros.

Great shorts at an affordable price! So if you’re looking for something comfortable, and are not baggy then these might be just what you’re looking for.

While usually you see a lot of MMA trunks plastered with sponsor logos, they really are cool without all the logos! Let’s look at some basic black.

Product Description


Black fight shorts, ideal for submission wrestling, MMA and even casual wear. Designed and cut for maximum comfort, these shorts feature split seams to allow total freedom of movement when grappling and kicking. Velcro system and inside tie for secure fit. Combine the look of board shorts with the feel of vale tudo shorts.

These have the Piranha Gear logo embroidered on the front leg and are blank on the back.

These shorts are made of 80% polyester and 20% nylon. They are not "slick" (like 100% poly) nor "sticky" like a microfiber would be.

The waist is NOT elastic, so be sure to measure your actual waist size before ordering. These are a looser or "baggy" cut, so you shouldn't need to get a larger size for any reason. If anything, you'd want to go with a smaller size if you want them to fit more snug.

Product Details

  • Quality polyester / nylon blend (80/20)
  • "Long" thigh length
  • Velcro double closure waist (no rough part exposed)
  • Split side seams for maximum freedom of movement
  • Machine washable
