Grown ass Grandpa online making excuses for a cheat. I’ve seen it all
Weight cutting will always be part of combat sports.. I’m in favor of letting the fighters weighing in on the weds before Saturday card. let them use IVs to hydrate.
He’s Brazilian. Id be very surprised if he were not on gear already.

I don’t know man…
Bigfoot at his best was no joke. He has some very credible wins.
He was backing Arlovski down with punches from what I remember. And he’s a big problem on the ground while being a naturally big HW.
Regardless, just another example of the types of guys Jones never proved himself against.

I liked Big Foot and rooted for him except against Fedor, and Overeem. I still don’t think he was that great, he was just a huge guy with a giant head

I was talking about Bigfoot but I guess you took that one for him
Big foot has a small pecker?
Ridiculous. Weight cutting is there because of the system and rules. If you put them 2 hours before fights, it wouldn’t happen. It can’t be that way for promo reasons, but there are many other ways than the current one. And the one you suggest would make it even more drastic.
I’ve never liked weight cutting, and think weigh-ins should be the day of.
If you have to deplete yourself too much to make 205 – then tough shit – you’re a HW.
If that means you’re on the smaller side of the division, then so be it.
That’s part of being a HW. It’s a broader weight class, which is part of what makes it historically the king of weight classes. The biggest HW isn’t always the best anyways.
Making weight cutting a significant part of the sport, means that people who are better at cutting weight use that to their advantage. Tito was the first guy who really took advantage of this in MMA.
Fights should be about fighting – not about who is best at working a process that lets them fight a class below their natural size.
I think it’s crazy that weigh ins aren’t the day of the fight.
Always have.

i don’t think it would matter. guys will cut as much as they possibly can and as much as possibly benifits them. growing up wrestling we use to think about it and talk about ways around it. i really don’t think there are any realistic ways.
Weigh is the day of the fight penalize those who cut a lot.
If you show up depleted, you pay the price physically. Maybe you’re good enough to win anyways. Then you earned it.
If you’re continually cutting a lot to barely make weight, you probably belong in the next class up.
Weigh ins the day of remove some of that advantage incentive.
Nothing is 100%, but let’s not give the cutters more advantage than they deserve, IMO.
i see what you mean but it’s incentivizing fighters to fight with a dry brain, basically just giving them less time to regydrate. they aren’t known for making good long term health decisions.

Heavy weight is different. There’s a larger margin of size differences. Like a small HW that can’t quite cut to LHW would be dwarfed by 250+ guys. Shame there’s not a Cruiserweight division!
I am fine with cutting weight, but the costs of missing weight needs to be severe. I’ve always said make the weight miss fighter only be eligible for a NC, not win.
