The first person to use gloves in MMA was Tank Abbott, he wanted to make sure he could pound dudes all day long without having to stop.

If you watch old school NHB and Vale Tudo matches you can tell when an opponent has broken his hand because he switches his punches. It made it harder to win.
Are you serious? The guy weakened himself so he can beat people up for longer? Wow... That's scary.
