Is the only pattern that exists for the same one thing to happen every time? All shirts are patterned one color, and if there are two it's not a pattern? No.

Stipe by first round KO. There's a pattern developing...

My favorite fighter, anyway. Legend.

Please just weigh them the day of the flight! A minute before, an hour before, 7 hours before, whatever! Meme them make weight the day before too, or not! You see, the UFC doesn't want welterweight to become the fighters from two divisions down because you couldn't fairly compare them to...

Hey, I love Genki Sudo! I would fight exactly like that if I had the chance! Though admittedly I'd go with "Sexyyama" for a name!! What I mean is that I don't think he was able to gain a psychological or technical advantage with that stance. You will recall he gave it up against Ludwig (or...

Didn't work at UFC level... But not as bad as Penn

Of course.

At least he's not wasting weight on giant pecs.

I'm shocked that Anderson vs. Maia isn't even in the top 5! That was so bad the UFC hasn't returned to the Middle East!

Still like Tito Ortiz slam KO of Evan Tanner.

So wrought classes seem needless to you?

I'm concerned about the opponents, and there being no incentive for the fighter to get as close as they can to weight when they realize they're going to miss, instead of giving up and coming in 7 pounds over.

Do you agree with fining fighters for missing weight? Do you think it's very different facing a fighter who missed by .1 lbs versus 9? Would it make sense to compensate the fighter somewhat more who is facing an opponent a weight class up rather than only .5 over the limit?

Help me improve this idea. Do you not think it's reasonable to fine two fighters differently who missed weight by .5 lbs versus 9?

As I'm sure you're aware, fighters are aka being docked 30% (if I recall correctly) for going over the limit (plus a free pound if you want to look at it that way, either way there is a limit). Are you saying you're against that?

You're absolutely right. How high do you think it could get for someone 6 pounds over, or 9 pounds over? 35% 31%?

People are already being fined 30% for being over the weight limit (which is one pound over the title fight weight requirement, of course). If you're over 206, you're over. At some point the line will come down to .1 pounds. What %s do you think would work instead of 30-60-90?

I think you've found the elegant solution...

I'm sure you're right. But my whole point is to give the fighters a reason to cut as close as they can, instead of giving up when they resize they won't make weight, and coming in 6 pounds over, daring the opponent to cancel the fight? My way there is an incentive to get close. The percentages...

What about lowering 30% to only 20% for .1-2 pounds, then go 30% for 2.1-4 pounds, then 35% for anything more? If a fighter realizes they're not going to make weight, what incentive do they have to not then abuse the system and come in 6, 7, 8 or more pounds over? The opponent doesn't want to...
