The last-minute decision to move UFC 232 from Nevada to California has resulted in a tweak of the official weigh-in rules for this week.

An interesting concept, fighters can only weigh up to the limit of the weight class. Get weighed every day to make sure they don't get fat.

I have no tolerance for cutting too much weight

I weighed in over 100+ times (too old to remember closer number) and had to compete within 2 hours, was always under to ensure I’d make weight...never missed once.......stay near the weight at all times or go up in weight

NCAA wrestling weighs guys possibly day of the tournament......I think it’s day of the tournament iirc

NCAA and HS wrestling have same-day weigh-ins, hydration tests when weighing, and weekly max-allowable weight drops.

But if UFC is going to make a complete shit-show of PED-testing, I have low confidence that they'll do anything about dangerous weight-cutting
