The wrap is used to stabilise the delicate bones and joints and prevent movement when punching a bag, a pad, or a person. An MMA fighter or boxer used their hands a lot, they are their tools so protecting them is essential, therefore all professional and amateur fighters will wrap their hand when competing and training. The purpose of hand wrap is to hold the hand together. The hand wrap will support the fingers, knuckles and wrist. However, the wrap is not a cushion for the impact to the knuckles this is the job of a glove.
