Seems crazy to fight with that weight disadvantage. What was the rationale for changing weigh-in to the day before?

fighters were putting themselves in danger by cutting weight and not having enough time to rehydrate

It was ostensibly to stop fighters from coming in to fights drained-which would make them more susceptible to injury-but it's being abused a lot in both boxing and mma with fighters draining themselves the day before and rehydrating a lot like Lemieux has done
