Media Jon Anik offers a new idea for punishing fighters that don’t make weight

NO ...

people will just abuse it period


have guys kicking everyone's ass but he's still 0-0 with 5 NC <Lmaoo>
 
I think this would be too far, but making them fight one point down would be interesting.

Other fighter: "Nah its ok guys he was close enough"

What you say sherbros? Yay or nay?

It would be a great idea if the UFC cared about that shit. Cody garbrandt is proof that they don't care if you lose, you'll get title shots if they like you. He is just one example of many
 
People are fucking retarded.


Why do people STILL not grasp that their stupid idea to fix weight cutting will just result in more cancelations via “last minute injuries?”

Fighters aren’t going to fight for half their money, and willingly fuck their record when they can just take another fight for full pay after they heal from their “injury”
 
What? It's actually the opposite because everyone is planning to fight on their actual weight instead of dehydrating everything a few days before
Just telling people to do something does not mean they will do it. Guys would still try to find any and every way around it. Meaning the ufc would need to employ tons of people to prevent this. And cancel fights when guys were found cheating. Lot of expense for them for no real benefit.
 
Why would they take the fight then? With people talking craziness like tuning them 90% of their purse, you realize that they would probably just refuse to fight then right?
 
Fighters who keep missing weight should just be forced to move up a weight class.

Also 60% of their pay needs to be forfeited to their opponent and they need to keep getting ridiculed on social media about it until they can stop missing weight.

There's no way around it, they're just tested multiple times in the week, just do it like ONE does.

nope many fighter just wont bother fighting, they will weigh themselves beforehand and then the will say they have got an injury or the flu or something,
 
40% of your fight purse and a point and another 10% for everypound over
 
Just make them move up in weight for the next fight...
 
Back in the early days of boxing there were a lot of no contests, the newspapers would just agree on a winner. I can see something similar happening here, lets say Jorge came in a pound over against Askren, no-one would say "oh that was a no contest" everybody would recognize Masvidal's win. So it's a non-starter. You already have the position where a fattie can't win a title fight.

A financial penalty is the way to go, we'd all go crazy if an anticipated fight was called off for a couple of pounds. If the commissions want to force an offender up a weight class that's fine.

Nobody even knows what one does. Its all behind closed doors. We only know what they say they do.
 
Stupid idea.
Not a single fighter is going to show for a fight which can not enter a W in the win column.
