1. I agree
2. Many don't. As far as I can tell about 1/3 of fans agree with you, 1/3 of fans disagree because they want less rules/regulations not more no matter what, and 1/3 of fans would agree with you if a solution could be found that isn't worse (complex, problematic) than the current problem.
3. This
Is pretty darn false. But they took a step, and hopefully others can learn from it. I don't want to get into all the reasons why it's false, but there are many. 2 reasons are a) they haven't been as transparent as we wish, and b) the gravity tests aren't as difficult to cheat as some seem to think (I'm reporting other people's opinions, not saying this is mine, so if you ask me to prove that gravity tests are or aren't foolproof, I won't).
4. California has tried to lead the way here in the states.
5. The found that the average weight gain between weigh-in and fight is 10% for UFC fighters. That forced them to change their approach, because they had been planning to make 10% the cut-off maximum.
6. Which is good. They made an assumption, did research before making a policy, then adjusted the policy based on the research and not the original assumption. This is slow and tedious, and exactly how public policy should be made
7. But it also proves that weight cuts are even more dramatic than we thought.
8. Instead they made the cut-off 15%. That's about 7% of fighters (in the 4 or 5 events so far). It was Ladd that pushed them into finally taking action, but once they did, they took action on quite a few fighters.
9. Lots of indications show that their hard work is falling on deaf ears. So far no other AC's have followed their path, and many fans and fighters (and UFC) have only showed resentment. And all fighters have to do is find another state to fight in.
That's an overview of the last 5 years of this topic. The very short version. If you have more specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.
