4 Point Plan - Weight Cutting Solutions

[Katsumi Yamada]

Hydration test immediately before the weigh ins.

If they aren't hydrated they aren't allowed to step onto the scale.

Most fighters dehydrate themselves to cut weight so they would likely have to move up a weight class, but it's barely a problem in the grand scheme of things, they would still be fighting the same opponents but both would be healthier.

The system is fine. Fighters have plenty of time to rehydrate. I weigh in 24 hours before my fight while ufc fighters have a day and a half. I never understood why sherdoggers care so much about how much a fighter cuts. If they make weight, then there’s no problems. If someone repeatedly misses, then force him to move up.

Fighters have been cutting weight forever. Almost every fighter does it and you don’t hear them all complaining. We don’t need to change everything all of a sudden.

A LOT of fighters complain, and fighters have died trying to make weight.

Not from fighting, from making weight. They accidentally suicided because of weight cutting ffs
