Blame the rules. If they are gonna weigh one day before, fighters will cut a lot of weight, because if they don't, others will.

If it was all about weight, Tibau would be LW GOAT. Skill is still the biggest factor in the game. Also cutting weight takes a toll on the fighter's cardio.

I would prefer weigh-ins the same day though.
Edgar cut from 165 at LW.

Agreed..

The weight cutting process can be worse than the fighting itself.
