Show me where I said they were superior. I'll wait.
My bad I put you in that same boat with that other guy
I'm used to you disagreeing with me...
Sorry

Nah, fuck that. It would be interesting to see some of the LHW fight as and against HW, but losing WW and below would suck. Generally the fights that don't include the top 10 HW suck comapred to the other weight classes, and I'm not watching MMA to see a bunch of giants swing their fists around until one gets KO'd. Idc if Robbie Lawler would get murdered by most HW in a 'real fight' doesn't mean it'd be fun to watch (although I think Robbie could probably KO some HW)
Here is a quote that sets this straight and it's the reflection of a true alpha fighter:
I have a feeling that you guys who support weight cutting are wrestlers who have this type of cheating in their program and are using insults to keep your mind from thinking about the fact that we who are against it are right.
Weight cutting is cheating. Just because the system is too archaic to stop it, doesn't make it OK.
Ban Weight cutting!!!
No, cheating is by definition breaking the set rules so you are dead wrong. If you think you can make up your own rules, without anyone else having to agree to them and claim that others are cheating, then you're making a fool out of yourself.
he could have been an amazing 205er, too bad his stubbornness kept him at HW where he got frequently abused by larger opponents.
Untraceable roids = the same thing as cutting weight = cheating.
Let's weigh the fighters just before they enter the octagon
You will see that weight classes are a joke.
I wonder how long the comission will think it's healthy to allow such dehydration to take place.
I'm not a fan of weight cutting, but I understand the reasoning behind it. Especially in an environment where everyone is doing it. Unless you want to give up 15-25lbs of size on fight night and essentially lose on purpose then you also need to cut weight.
Guys like Big Foot have to cut weight just to get under the ceiling weight for HW. He's in the 285-290 range come fight night.
I'd like to see weight cutting go out the window, but humans are tricky bastards and any rules you put in place will be circumvented to some degree even at substantial health risk to the athletes.
I've heard all the lame excuses for both, but I found them all just lazy excuses, easy to overcome.
Wow. Did you just say that breaking the rules and not getting caught is the same thing as doing something that the rules intentionally allow? Just wow.
They'll probably allow it for a long time since boxing did try to lower it and only managed to achieve a more dangerous situation for the fighters, which is contrary to what the rules are therefor and therefor scrapped.
