Weigh in 3 days before the fight. And 1 day before.

This way guys like Morales at 210, would fight at middleweight. He weigh bullied Brady.

no weight cutting
same day weight in
mut be within your weight class as you enter the cage
This would work but the transition period would be a nightmare as guys still cut weight and then fight dehydrated.

And promoters would hate it because fights would get cancelled minutes before starting because some douche missed weight.

I think maybe they should test dehydration levels at the weigh in, and you can't be below a certain level. ONE already does this.
 
its clearly not a problem for anyone but us.
The fighters take advantage, the company doesn't care and the commission doesn't institute any rules relating to the topic.
There are probably a half dozen things the UFC gets away with mostly due to fighters not outright dying in their cage.
 
Unfortunately I put my hopes for these rules being changed on hold because I don't think anything will change sadly until someone dies trying to weight cut or dies in the cage in front of everyone before they'll actually change the rules it's sad to think someone has to lose their life but that's basically what it's going to take...


Very simple you do the official way in on Friday and you do the same day weigh in in the morning you cannot be more than 10 lb over your division weight so if the fight is at 155 you cannot exceed 165 morning of the fight

Michael Spinks was a hero for doing this
