Topic	why aren't weigh-ins for combat sports done before the match

Sure, there are some outliers who cut very little to no weight (Frankie Edgar) but the majority are fighting at about 15lbs heavier than what they weighed in at. What needs to happen, is new rules about weight cutting that will keep fighters from putting themselves in danger by doing extreme weight cuts. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is a huge LHW (205lbs and he cuts to make weight there), he use to fight at 170lbs. The thing is, he is far more dangerous at LHW because he doesn't put his body through nearly as much hell to make weight. --- How can one person post so much stupid s*? <cite>MuayThai85 posted [p:905524760] in why aren't...
