Why are there early Weigh-ins ?

[KOfinger]

Is this the first time when ufc has early weigh-ins?

 

[KDR by RNC]

Ufc 199 was the first early weigh in event.

Look at his avatar and join date. Probably a WWE convert who was drawn to this event because of Lesnar. Cut 'im some slack!

more time to rehydrate

i would of liked if they got rid of the later fake weigh in and make the early one the official one that gets media coverage

Cali commission tried it first so that the fighters can have more time to re-hydrate.

head injury gives more time for the brain to recover after a drastic weight cut or something along those lines

Hendricks missed weight. Fined 20% purse.

and what interest have ufc in the rehidrated of fighters after so many years?

After a fighter a few months back due to a bad weight cut, it made the media rounds. It wasn't in the UFC, but now everyone is at least pretending to care now.

They have some media at the earlier time, but its an open time of like 4hrs or so that they can go and weigh in, makes it hard to have the fight announcements when they trickle in over the afternoon.
