I propose that UFC implement a program similar to USDA that would require fighters to weigh in randomly throughout the year even when they are out of competition. They would have to be within some sort of tolerance , say 10% of their official weight class. For example, if you are a welterweight then you would have to be at 187 or lighter. Of course there would be exceptions for injuries or if fighting outside your normal weight class, and I'm sure there are other details that I'm overlooking. But, it would prevent fighters from blowing up 25-30 pounds above their weight class between fights and then killing themselves to make weight. Just a thought...
