The problem, if there is one (there is for me), isn’t weight cutting per se. We don’t see fighters at worrying levels of body fat, and we won’t, because it doesn’t make sense.
It’s the water cutting.

Getting rid of massive water cuts would be very easy and wouldn’t put any fight card at risk. They could do it tomorrow.
If they don’t, it’s because it seems like many people are interested in it. The “OMG he’s so massive,” how a fighter looks on the scale, the water-cut journey…

Personally, I’m convinced this zero-sum game worsens the quality of fights. You end up with two guys low on glycogen, slower reflexes, worse decision-making and a weaker chin.
 
Why do you hate Bruce Lee?

You should elaborate on the "Getting rid of massive water cuts would be very easy and wouldn’t put any fight card at risk. They could do it tomorrow."
