You'd probably just end up with fighters who were dehydrated and undernourished throughout camps.

I'm betting on them not staying dehydrated through a whole several week period.

Also you wouldn't have to hit "weight" the whole time, you'd just have to be within a certain percentage.

And fighters will figure out that percentage and stay dehydrated to be 1 or 2 pounds below.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Whittaker is good and if he can stay upright he'll probably knock Jacare out. If

Standing with Jacare is difficult because assuming he doesn't kill you on the ground he hits like a truck. I like Whittaker too, but Jacare is almost uncrowned champion level of talent like Machida during Rashad's reign.

Dehydrated isn't a yes or no answer. There are levels...

Anyway this is stupid because we are always going to have weight classes, and weight cutting will always happen.

Bottom 3 modern UFC championship fights are probably that, Silva-Leites, and Sylvia-Monson.

Though Militech-Burnett was pretty bad, too.

The only thing that went right for Dana this weekend was that Hunt lost and Overeem is back in the HW picture.

Aside from that, LW is a loving trainwreck, and Woodley is still a boring unsellable poo poo of a champion.

how the gently caress do you give round 2 to woodley, lol.

Neither fighter did much in rounds 1 or 2, but it looked like a do-nothing round where Thompson had octagon control

Striking and grappling, FOLLOWED BY aggression and octagon control.... IN...THAT....ORDER...

There was no striking or grappling worth talking about in the first 2 rounds. To the extent that we needed to judge this thing that was a fight, Thompson obviously has octagon control.
