MMA gloves for big hands?

I have been training mostly with xxl size everlast boxing gloves for bag training. I grapple with no gloves. I want to get used to MMA style gloves though. I have big hands I think. The sherdog store says that XL gloves are for 8.5"+ around the knuckles but I am a little over 11". I am wondering if these could fit me or where can i find a bigger size?

I'd like to know this as well. I need some fight gloves (already have the xxl century bag gloves) that will accomodate 10" around the knuckle. Any suggestions?

Just to add my bit on to this. You would have to special order this size if you went for Fairtex, Twins, King or Raja. We can sort it out for you, but we would need 5 days to do it.

How much more would that add to the cost? I may have to do this come fight time.

No extra cost. Just need those 5 days for the factory to get them made for you.
