Rigel posted:I indicated more interest in the "win and in" idea, where two guys are bought in for just one fight, and the winner gets a contract. Basically TUF without the tournament and reality show. Yeah, the "win and in" concept at least focuses on a positive, which I think will sell better. Get two local guys and it could be fun. "Lose and you're out" is obviously a reality in a lot of fights but its distasteful to sell it that way.

gently caress, I really wish they hadn't added a make up fight to the main card. Losing the Nurmy fight sucked but the silver lining for me was that I could probably see the PPV because I have to go at 9:30 PST. The extra fight means that I'll miss the championship fight probably so there's not even a point in buying the card (ok there's Mark Hunt but)

Now I'm second guessing myself because I have a love/hate relationship with Suga and want to see Mark Hunt knock Overeem's head into the third row. Is there any chance this card is done by 9:30 Pacific? That's 2.5 hours from starting time. I want to say they usually run about 3 hours but honestly I can't remember.

Nibbles! posted:Same day weigh-ins would probably be the easiest solution however there's plenty of issues there. That wouldn't be better. Then you'd have dehydrated as poo poo guys on fight night. The only real solution is USADA-like weight checks during camps to make sure you aren't x% above your fight weight.

big money big clit posted: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.

Can you physically stay dehydrated for two months without dying?
