Fairtex MMA Shorts Size Guide
Fairtex MMA shorts (including Vale Tudo and board-style fight shorts) use a 4-size ladder. Measurements below are flat-garment dimensions in inches — pick by approximate body waist; the waistband flexes and adjusts via the closure.
| Size | Waistband width (in) | Approximate waist (in) | Side length (in) | Leg opening (in) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 14 | 28 | 15.5 | 11.5 |
| M | 15 | 30 | 16.5 | 12 |
| L | 16 | 32 | 17 | 12.5 |
| XL | 17 | 34 | 18 | 13 |
How to choose your size
- Waist — measure around your natural waistline and match the result to the "Approximate waist" column.
- Fit note — MMA fight shorts run shorter and narrower at the leg than gym shorts to allow full hip mobility for kicks, knees and ground work. The leg opening is intentionally close-fitting.
- If you're between sizes — size up for grappling-heavy training (extra room helps when seated or sprawling); size down if you prefer a snug compression-style fit.

Description
Description
Engineered for grappling and ground work, the Fairtex CP9 Mens Vale Tudo Shorts in Black/Orange drop a compression cut into Fairtex's four-way stretch polyester shell — a base-layer short that holds the leg through takedowns, transitions and sprawls without riding up.
The bonded waistband stays flat against the hip for long ground sessions, and the high-stretch fabric moves with the leg through hard scrambles. Cleaner than wearing a compression bottom under boardshorts.
Main Features:
- Four-way stretch polyester for unrestricted movement
- Compression cut stays locked through takedowns and transitions
- Bonded flat waistband — no chafe through long rounds
- Wear as a base layer under MMA shorts or solo for grappling
- Handmade in Thailand by Fairtex craftsmen
