Is the incentive of having a theoretical strength and size advantage enough to outweigh the reality of shambling into the cage already gassed out before the fight even starts? Hope you manage to get a KO in the 30 seconds you have before you're ready to completely collapse against an opponent at their physical peak who's ready to go a full 3-5 rounds.

IIRC the fighters who missed weight over the past couple of years have usually won their fights. I can’t point to a source, but I remember that it became a thing people tracked when missing weight started to become more common, relatively.

Yeah, that's my point. They wouldn't have a competitive advantage anymore if they could only get that size advantage by entering the cage barely able to stand up. Nobody would do it anymore because they would know their performance would be impaired.

Ah, I see. You believe they won’t have the same results with same day weigh ins.

Kelvin’s agreed to replace Costa against Cannonier in August. He really doesn’t take any easy fights.
