I was watching Alexandr Shabliy fight Adriano Martins at Fight Nights Global, and I noticed they docked Martins a point for coming in heavy.
Am I the only one who thinks this is a great idea?
I think a lot of guys are willing to take the hit to their wallet in exchange for a weight advantage, as a win, and a chance to move up the ladder is more valuable in the long run.
If you dock a point, it puts getting the W in more jeopardy, and therefore not making it as worthy a trade-off.
You could even tier it, by docking a point for every 2 pounds you came in over.
And STILL hit them in the wallet, docking 20% of their purse.
