Who Has Suffered Most from 10% Weight Cut Rule?

[Sid Arthur]

Like others, I've been amazed at the downfall of Hendricks. How did someone who looked so dangerous manage to become completely mediocre?

People talked a lot about post-USADA, but I think the 10% limit on adding weight after weigh-ins has had just as must influence on the UFC as drug testing.

Weidman is another who seems to have been a huge weight cutter who has lost a former huge advantage.

Personally im glad to see that the determining factor in the UFC is no longer weight cutting!

Sure, people have been affected, but how about the rule that says you need to be in 150% of your fighting weight 1.245 days before the fight.

Are you talking about in One FC? Because to my knowledge, this is the only org that has this rule; its not a USADA rule

There is no such rule as the 10% rule. But they did trial it before once in California, but its not a rule officially and no other state has ever tried it. They can put on as much weight as they like

Where did you get this from? A hole at the bottom of your back bone?

Even if a 10% limit on adding weight was true, you do realize that would have allowed Big Rig to put on 18.5 pounds in 24 hours right?

I started a thread here asking about it, I was told there is.

I've posted this before....

A 10% limit is in order. If you fight at 170, you can weigh no more than 170lbs plus 10%. 170 + 17 = 187lbs.

If you go over, you pay a fine that goes up according to how over you are. The more you go over, the more you pay, with 75% of this fine going to your opponents purse.

Apparently not.

@BBMN saying one is in order is not the same as one existing.

Damn, when I have a question on regulations or want a new one created from thin air, I better ask BBMN.

Probably because the thread title was about weight cutting which we all know about, not weight gaining.

 

[Koro_11]

If that's not a rule it should be.

Fuck you if you're walking around at 200 lbs, then cutting weight to fight someone Frankie Edgar's size. I would make them weigh in on their way to the octagon.
