Fight Shorts · Fit Guide
Find your size
Our MMA fight shorts fit at the waist. Measure around your waistline — or use your weight as a rough guide — and we'll point you to the right size. The drawstring gives you a bit of play either way.
Enter your waist — or your weight if you can't measure — and we'll sort you out.
Quick reference
Fit is set by your waist. Between two sizes? The drawstring means you can size down for a snugger fit, up for more room.
| Size | Waist (your body) |
|---|---|
| XS | 66–71 cm |
| S | 72–76 cm |
| M | 77–81 cm |
| L | 82–86 cm |
| XL | 87–91 cm |
| 2XL | 92–96 cm |
| 3XL | 97–101 cm |
Garment measurements
Flat measurements of the shorts themselves, in cm. The waist is the relaxed garment waist — the drawstring cinches it down.
| Measurement | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Waist | 68 | 73 | 78 | 83 | 88 | 93 | 98 |
| Length | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39.5 | 41 | 42.5 |
Between two sizes? Fight shorts have a drawstring — size down for a snugger waist, up for a relaxed fit. #JOINTHEFIGHT

The Killer Croc' Fightshorts
Part of the APEX Predator Series. Our V2 fightshorts cut — the step up from New Wave and Wordmark. Same design language as the Killer Croc Rashguard, built to pair as a full kit or stand on their own.
What's new in V2:
- Sturdier, heavier polyester/spandex blend. More substantial feel than our previous shorts, same stretch and range of motion.
- Redesigned cut with curved corners and side slits instead of straight slits. Modern above-the-knee length, cleaner silhouette, same mobility.
- Flat inner drawstring instead of a round cord — sits flush against the waist, no poking into your hips when you're on the ground.
The details:
- Heavier-weight polyester/spandex shell. Built to take the beating that lighter competition shorts can't.
- Stretch crotch panel carried over from V1 — full range for kicks, sprawls, and guard work.
- Weighted elastic waistband with flat internal drawstring. Locked in, not fussy.
- Side slits with curved corners for cleaner lines and more mobility than straight-cut slits.
- Full sublimation print matching the rashguard, with "JOIN THE FIGHT" down the leg and "The Croc" detail on the front panel.
- Embroidered woven label on the outside.
Who it's for: MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai, grappling — any discipline where shorts get put through it. The V2 cut handles sparring and competition equally well.
A note on the upgrade: If you've owned our New Wave or Wordmark shorts and liked them, V2 is the same principles built heavier. The lighter shorts still have their place (great for hot gyms, long sessions, weight-cut friendly). V2 is the pick if you've ever wished your shorts felt a bit more like shorts and less like a swim trunk.
The Kit: Pair with 'The Killer Croc' Rashguard for the full kit. Available together or separately.

It fits well around the hand and wrist. The thumb is well protected, and you can even wear bandages underneath while still being able to fasten the Velcro securely.

Helpt fantastisch tijdens zware trainingen wanneer er veel zweet is! Fit ook goed en heeft een beetje een compressie werking wat fijn is.
