Indestructible Fight Shorts
What do German Shepherds, steel bars, sledge hammers, trucks, and blazing flames have in common? All are incapable of causing any damage to the Diamond MMA fighter shorts. Craig Diamond, founder of Diamond MMA, has set a new standard in UFC protective gear. Craig’s passion for martial arts and his ability to think outside the box contributed to the integration of design and technology into these fighter shorts.

Currently, there are very few choices for high-quality protection and performance fight gear. Diamond MMA has challenged the norm. Craig knew he wanted his shorts to enhance performance and increase functionality, so he looked to Inventables.com to find the right materials to use. The shorts are designed and built to give the fighter an actual competitive edge, and they offer protection unrivaled by any other product on the market. The fabric of the shorts is abrasion resistant and literally indestructible. The Diamond MMA groin protection cup, made of a unique cushioning gel, absorbs much more impact than the simple plastic and rubber cups found in other shorts. A three strap jocksystem is also built into a compression short, providing additional protection. The Diamond MMA shorts offer both sleek style and elite functionality.

After finding the materials on Inventables.com, Craig built relationships with the vendors. He says, “Inventables got me to the vendors I needed faster than Google. Using Inventables and their resources is giving our company an unfair advantage over my competition.” Craig and his team tested the prototyped shorts in the ring with the UFC fighters, and the results were a success! The shorts have also passed the test outside the ring. Not even a heavy-duty truck can damage the protection cup. You can see testing videos on the Diamond MMA website: http://www.diamondmma.com/commercials.htm.
Craig knows he will be designing and testing innovative solutions in sports protection for the next 30 years. Right now, he is making protective shorts for some of the world’s the toughest fighters, and he will not quit until every UFC fighter is wearing Diamond MMA shorts. With this technology and design, Craig has changed the sport for the better. He does this not only for the protection of the fighters, but also to reduce the number of injury timeouts during the fights. What’s next?
The shorts will launch in early 2010, so keep an eye out. Craig Diamond has something worth fighting for – his shorts.
