Weight cut suggestions?

[Lamont Cranston]

What do people think of the idea that a fighter can cut weight for a division but cannot weigh more than the next division up the day of the fight?

ie - if you are fighting at 155, you cannot weigh more than 170 the night of the fight.

Penalties are % cost of fight purse as regular if you missed weight.

that is a good idea, but i wonder if any SAC will be implementering this

It would further the idea that on fight night both fighters are more evenly matched physically and skills and tools become more the thing that defines winning.

I like it.

I like that idea man, then we would have to cut a healthier way than losing water weight

 

[SongExotic2]

I like the idea of there being a limit come fight night. Makes it less of a factor

The hydration tests work in a similar way - either being a certain % at weigh in or day of. I like either.
