For obvious reasons, the groin protector will safeguard your valuables to prevent injury and most importantly, save you from a lot of pain.
If you played any type of contact/high-impact sport such as football or baseball, you are probably familiar with the groin protector or athletic cup.
However, Mixed Martial Arts or MMA groin protectors are specialized to ensure they stay in place since MMA involves so many transitions such as going from a standing striking position to the ground grappling.
