I have mixed feelings for the double weigh-ins tho. I mean I feel they should have to weigh in the day of the fight. Make weight you are in and get paid your full purse. Come in heavy, your pay is cut and in cases of title fights, the belt is still on the line if the Title Holder is overweight. So Brock comes in at 265, he has 8 hours before fight time that he can rehydrate etc. He doesnt like it then maybe he should compete at super heavy and wont have to cut weight. Tired of the excuse of fighters not performing well due to bad weight cuts. And the fact that many fighters are dominate in their division because they are oversized for it but can cut the weight is kinda weak as well, but as the old saying goes if you can make the weight then you can fight.
