ClinchGear.com - MMA shorts, MMA shirts & custom MMA Gear

As many of our fans have heard, Clinch Gear recently reached an agreement with Fedor Emelianenko to manufacture and distribute a line of signature apparel, including tees, shorts, hoodies and headwear. We are thrilled to work with Fedor--he is arguably the best MMA fighter in the history of the sport and is one of the true gentleman of the game. Stay tuned for a range of high-quality Clinch Gear products in the Fedor Collection.

It has been some time since we updated our news page--the last post was just prior to Dan Henderson's Strikeforce debut in Nashville on April 17, 2010. Clinch Gear is Dan's company, so we all have an emotional investment in the outcome of his fights, and everyone in the office was pretty down after Nashville. However, we all support Dan, win or lose, and look forward to seeing him turn things around in his next fight.

Despite Dan's setback, the Clinch Gear brand has continued to grow at a rapid pace. In the past couple months, we have been busy sponsoring fighters in events around the globe. In Strikeforce, we have worked with Gegard Mousasi, Tyron Woodley, Tarec Saffiedine, Tim Kennedy, Trevor Prangley, Antonio Silva, Rafael Feijao, Nathan Coy, Bobby Voelker, Nate Moore and many others. Tonight, Fedor, Cung Le and Jan Finney will be wearing our shorts.

In Bellator, we were proud to sponsor featherweight tournament champion Joe Warren, as well as middleweight tournament runner-up Bryan Baker, and lightweight tournament runner-up Toby Imada. Among the scores of Bellator fighters we sponsored this season, Jared Hess is a name the stands out--he suffered a horrific knee injury in the middleweight semi-finals yet continued to fight until the referee stopped the bout. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jared, and we wish him a speedy and full recovery.

In Japan, Kenji Osawa was victorious in Clinch Gear shorts in Dream, and Marlin Sandro scored a stunning knockout in Sengoku wearing our gear. And there have been som many other athletes who have proudly and capably represented the Clinch Gear brand over the past couple of months.

We apologize for lagging on the athlete and company updates. We'll catch up on Facebook and Twitter, and we'll keep our News page current moving forward, with articles, videos, photos and more.

Thanks to everyone who has supported our brand over the past eight years!

Best regards,

Aaron Crecy, General Manager

Here is an independent review of the Hendo 100 shorts that we found today at UnfilteredMMA.com by @ckfighter.

Matt M (Twitter name @MushiPanda) rolls out another great review for us:

The Design/Function

First off clear your mind about anything you know or think you know about Clinch Gear. Now that you have done that, open your eyes and your wallets to make sure you get the Clinch Gear Hendo 100 Preformance Shorts. I know a lot of people have trouble with white shorts. Trust me the color doesn’t keep these shorts from being light and function in the gym. The stretch panel runs up the outside of the leg and across the back of the waist. I have to admit it makes for a better fit for anybody including the bigger of the guys out there.  Trust me when you talk to people who are former wrestlers they know Clinch Gear and they know they produce great gear. Now putting the function behind us, the design is the next thing to come to mind. These shorts are by far the most, and I mean most, appealing shorts to the eye out there. The flag is not a decal but actual stretch panel material , by far the best idea to incorporate colors into a design for shorts. My hat is off to Hendo and the guys at Clinch.

The Quality

One of my top three shorts I use for daily training and to wear outside the gym. I train about 8 to 12 times a week in all kinds of areas and these shorts have taken the abuse and keep looking great. Truly a product that should lead most if not everyone to try Clinch gear even for some of their other shorts. A great product and a great investment. See that’s the real value here, these shorts may cost a lot compared to other brands, but they preform and leave the others behind.

The Size/Feel

The fit is remarkable, light, soft, and comfortable are all words that can be used to describe these shorts. I will add they become an extension of your body. The fit is so responsive and natural, the waistband doesnt dig or roll, a true testament to the comfort afforded by these shorts. I am rough on shorts because I am bigger than a lot of guys out there, but I will cry the day when I cant train in these shorts anymore. A second skin is the only way to describe how they truly feel, calm cool and relaxed is how you will
feel training in these shorts. These shorts are by far one of the tops out there, no questions asked. They have paid attention to all the small details and based a lot of fighter input into making a top notch product.
