I know what you're saying, but 225 is a LOT of body weight. If you weigh more than 225 pounds in fighting shape, you probably should be stuck at Heavyweight.Wont work because LHWs would have to move up to fight Overeen and Ngannou sized guys.
Too big a gap between the LHW limit and the HW limit
It would bother me if you stopped making shit threads. It would make me wonder if everything is allright at home.Say they go the One FC route of no weight cutting. Would you be ok with LW being 170, WW being 185, MW being 205, LHW being 225-230? I could imagine it being very confusing. Because if they got rid of weight cutting it's all gonna be messed up. It will be better for the fighters health and we won't get these last minute pull outs. Just keep on weight through diet and be monitored. Should be simple enough. Weight cutting is an old wrestling technique. It's grueling and sucks but since everyone else does it, its the norm. It shouldnt be.

If it's a real problem, you can make LHW 230 pounds also.

People would still cut. That's why one FC tests urine. They can do a gravity test and see how hydrated you are through your urine. It's quite simple really, if it' dark yellow almost orange, you're dehydrated. If it's a bright yellow, hydrated, if it's almost clear, you'e extremely hydrated.
Fighters would just move down a weight-class.
Theres no way theyre going to get rid of weight cutting. Fighters either need to learn how to do it or fight at hw.
