DarkReflection Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 No...it's not phony, it's legit. But it only applies in Massachusetts. And even then you are allowed a percentage gain on second weigh in. Cheers -DR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerothe Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 It's kind of weird really that they make you hit a weight but don't make you fight at that same weight. The UFC has made the weigh-ins an event as well. So it would be tough to not have them but then you would have some injuries at first because the fighters would still be somewhat dehydrated. On the flip side it didn't do anything for Alves against Georges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnydingo Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Its a great rule to have anywhere, that way for example you wouldn't see a gigantic Anthony Johnson fight someone he outweighs by 20-30 pounds come fight night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple_Jack Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I had no idea Dmtl was a girl. Now it makes much more sense why she disagrees with most of the members On topic: I also consider it a good idea exactly because of the fighters who have an obvious size advantage over other fighters who fit the same weight class more naturally (imagine Rumble or Daley or GSP fighting Nate, i mean come on ) It would affect their performance for sure but then they would have to use a different approach in training and cutting for fighting in WC they don't really belong to.

KungFuMaster Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I want the truth. Is Dmtl a girl or a guy? I must know. There are certain things I will not say to a female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
