Point deduction and* less purse relative to the percentage of missed weight (8 pounds at 135 are worse than 8 pounds at 205) sounds sensible imo.
*I said "and" and not "or", because unless they make the decrease in purse relative to the amount of money the fighter who missed weight has, some guys like Conor would say "fuck that bit of money, i'm rich anyways, why should i care?" but by also deducing a point, the fighter HAS to regret missing weight, because fighters are almost exclusively in there because they love winning and/or money.
I also don't mind if that point deduction increases, the more the fighter has missed weight: because let's say a guy comes in at his walkaround weight - this can be a much bigger advantage than having points deducted is a disadvantage.
@Zebra Cheeks @Hellowhosthat what do you think?
