Bought a couple of pairs of MMA shorts (size XL) from eBay. Cage Fighter brand.

Apparently "XL" means X-tra Little 😐

Thought that if MMA shorts are good enough for MIRKO CROCOP and his massive thighs, they should be good enough for me.

One pair doesn't even go past my thighs, and these barely fit.
