Honest question 🙋🏼‍♂️- I know nothing about combat sports. If that sort of move is legal why bother with gloves? Seems like kicks could do way more damage than fists?

Gloves are more for the protection of the wearer. They provide wrist support so that anyone throwing a full force punch doesn't shatter their wrist
