The fighters still have to show up on the scale at a certain weight though so its not cheating, as long as they make it past the scale
If Luke Rockhold wanted to fight at FW and showed up on weigh in day at 145, even if he looked like pure shit but passed alll his prefight medicals, its still legal...then if he rehydrated back up to 200 lbs fight time and destoyed his much smaller opponent...people may complain but
I repeat...ITS STILL LEGAL
As long as fighters keep making weight...they are never too big for the division
Now fighters like Big Gast, Big Rigg at WW, Pettis and Oliveria at FW...fighters that MISS weight despite their size, thats a WHOLE different story
