Step 1: First weigh-in performed by independent firm must occur the day fight contract is signed (published for transparency to the media)
Step 2: Random training camp weigh-ins done during the unannounced USADA PED tests, only for fighters signed for an upcoming fight and preferably on the same day (is this feasible?)
Step 3: Fight night weigh-in as usual
Step 4: Existing class belt champions and contender status move up one (i.,e Heavyweight champ becomes Superheavyweight), since UFC may not adjust the weights themselves.
Step 5: Contract and random weigh-ins results may never be greater than new UFC defined 'pre-fight' training camp weight limits as defined below (suggestions?)
Step 6: Failed contract weigh-ins result in ineligibility for any contract of that weight class for at least two months (no other penalties)
Step 7: Failed random weigh-in (again only for fighters under signed upcoming fights) result in normal fight week weight-in penalties (loss of purse, etc)
Step 8: If one fighter is over and the other is under, a catch-weight may be offered
This new policy (1) will allow existing champions and contenders to achieve the new limits tested randomly during training camp or decide to move up to a class they can achieve, (2) prevent 'gaming' future weigh-ins and (3) allow fighters in compliance to agree to catch-weight negotiations far in advance of fight week, preventing an unnecessary weight cut.
