  Fights would be WAY better if there was no weight cutting...

  I find this extreme weight cutting genuinely more disturbing than even the most heinous injuries in actual fights

  It’s crazy to think a death is going to change anything with weight cuts and the ufc. Dana will just blame the death on being unprofessional and move on. UFC doesn’t care about there fighters

  'The rankings would collapse', the rankings mean fuck all anyway? Rankings are a management - favourite score. They mean nothing else.

  We have the tech and resources to weigh fighters daily, take the average and that's their weight class

  The issue is due to weight cutting were not getting the best vs the best. We're getting who the biggest weight cheats is vs who's an even bigger weight cheat

  Weigh in 2 hours before fight time. Problem solved.

  And then there&apos;s Jiri who had to chug liters of water <b>before</b> the weigh in, because apparently he got too locked in while in a sauna, and lost way too much weight

  Weigh in right outside the ring. Will get rid of the insane shit people do the last 24 hours.

  I wish the UFC would do hydration tests like One Championship does. It&apos;s dumb they have to deplete themselves right before they fight.

  So they know damn well that everyone is doing it. They know damn well that it’s dangerous. And everyone hates doing it. Why do they allow this shit to happen?! It seems so easily solvable.
