Least Baggy Fight Shorts

I'm new to MMA and currently using a baggy pair of basketball shorts during training. They obviously ride up frequently. I'm not rich so I only have money for 1 new pair of training shorts right now. I'd like to get one that's relatively fitted so I don't have the same problems as I'm having with my b-ball shorts. I'm considering Sprawl V-flex, Nogi Echo, and Fairtex All Sport. Any suggestions as to which has the least amount of fabric flapping around, yet still allow me decent flexibility? Thanks, I appreciate it.

The Sprawl and the fairtex are loose enough to not cut off circulation to your boys, but not too loose like some of the Tap Out shorts I have seen

I think Koral may have one of the tightest fitting board shorts.

Sprawls are tighter than the All Sports.

The All Sports also have the "Ass Flex Panel", that I haven't seen anywhere else. It actually helps quite a bit.

I don't have any Nogis though.

My Korals are definitely the most snug out of all my shorts (Sprawl, Truth, XFGear). Expensive as hell, but very high quality. They don't have the stretch panels, which rather bites, but if you want snug while still being loose, then those are probably your best bet.

Their sizes seem to run about 1-2" smaller than a comparable Sprawl. Sprawl 34" fit great, the Koral 34" feels like a 32".
