Fashion or Tradition?

So it seems like everyday when I walk into the gym I see more and more fighters training in MMA shorts. Most of them do roll, so it isn’t so much a statement, but an issue of practicality. I’m still undecided… I’d sort of feel like a poser, like I’m jumping on the MMA bandwagon. The other half of me thinks that this a natural progression. When Muay Boran became Muay Thai, changes were made fighters wore trunks. Is this where its going ? I guess when I see the guys at Lumpini sporting them I’ll know. I came across these, I’ve never been a big fan of the grappling shorts, but these did catch my eye. Personally I think they are on the pricey side @ $55 Here is a clip of Ganyao and Yodsanklai showing them off.
