The obvious weight cutting solution.

Replace scales with randomly chosen sherdogger who will look at each fighter and compare their sizes.
 
You can't have cheaters if cheating is allowed.

Monitor their weights year round. They have to be within 15lbs of their weight class.
 
Great plan. The champions will no longer be the best athletes that train the hardest; they will be the guys with the best pharmacist and doctors. Just what sports were meant to be.
 
Just get high end scales which measure hydration levels and increase the weight limits of each class.

Kind of the opposite actually. Right now it's the guys with the most money that will have the best/most undetectable drugs, and the doctors that know how to best cycle on and off. If it were legal, the playing field would be far more equal.

Everyone loves Captain America. What is he if not just a big PED cheat?
 
Royce was 180 lbs beating 300+ lbs men. Rickson did that 400 times
 
Tom Terrific needs PEDs to help him make Plat predictions

I disagree, if you like sports with a bunch of PED freaks throwing each other around, you can watch WWE. I like sports where cheaters are frowned upon and there is some measure to maintain a equal playing field. The USADA is far from perfect but they are cleaning up the sport. There has to be repercussions for cheating or the sport has zero integrity.
 
It was far less frequent.

Are you looking for a solution that guarantees nobody will ever miss weight ever again?
No, I'm just looking for a good solution that actually has a chance of being implemented as opposed to a terrible solution that has zero chance of being implemented.
