A groin protector is a necessary piece of MMA equipment, for obvious reasons. You also will need one for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, while you are rolling you can get hit accidentally in the groin area and that’s no fun.
The traditional groin protector (baseball) should not be worn for MMA, simply because they are not secure enough and will shift around during training and competition.
MMA specific groin protectors have been designed to be super secure with fastening systems to keep the cup in place when rolling, grappling, or in an all out brawl.
