And no, weight cutting is not part of MMA. Not all organizations hold the weigh-ins a day earlier.

I know some people will think that would be irresponsible and "how dare you put fighters at risk like that" etc. etc.
I don't follow that logic. It's up to the fighters. You wanna take the risk with dehydrating even though you're fighting a couple hours later, that's your choice.
Agreed, it would be nice to bring a sense of genuineness, concerning weight, in the UFC...although I would like to see this implemented, it's not a huge deal for me...

Perhaps it would be interesting if we could see their "true" weight along with their pseudo weight...so they would weigh in the night before and again sometime before (within an hour for arguments sake) their fight so we see what their genuine weight actually is.
