MMA Glove Fitting

I have a pair of Throwdown MMA gloves that I use on a regular basis but they seem a bit snug in the fingers though the glove itself fits fine. Has anyone else experienced this with other mma gloves? They are a size large and it seems like if I were to tape up my hands then try to put the mma gloves on id have no circulation! Are they supposed to be this snug?

I got some Hyabusa MMA gloves, and the fingers were tight, but I stuffed my nunchuck handles through the fingers to widen them up! I also have an infrared sauna, so I took the nunchuck stuffed gloves in there for awhile too.

Do you use handwraps under your mma gloves or just go barenuckle? I put handwraps on and they fit but I do need to widen up the finger holes still they are uncomfortable.

I sometimes use wraps, sometimes I don't. The gloves are loose without the wrap though, but I still use them wrapless sometimes. How old are your gloves? When I first got mine, the fingers were super tight and uncomfortable. But after a month of use, and my nunchuck stuffing technique, they're as snug as a chick in her late teens. So if yours are next to brand new, they're going to be uncomfortable for a little while.
