    Well, it's like the Tale of the Tape... if we know the age, reach, and height, why not the fight night weight?

    Because the fight night weight isn't the official weight. It makes more sense to me to just revert back to same day weigh-in, which I would absolutely be in favor of.

    first weigh in 1 week before fight, second weigh in fight night, only a certain % increase or fluctuation allowed. you would have fighters always fighting in their natural weight.

    That’s what I think but a lot of pussies won’t fight unless they have every little advantage.

    A catch weight is much easier to make as long as you get to hydrate properly. You start issuing rehydration clauses and you are just being a *****

    Massive flaw of combat sports, you fight in 147 weight class ans end up weighing 165 fight night
    It’s a contest... Who can destroy their body more?

    It certainly plays into circumstances where one has wagered assets on the outcome of a match.
