In a sport that has weight classes, weight cutting is always going to happen. Always.
Even if they had same day weigh ins, the same fighters would probebly cut weight anyway for the size advantage. So instead of two fresh guys fighting, youd have two dehydrated guys. not as good a fight.
Dont tell me its unfair, there are millions of weight classes to choose from nowadays, just go to whichever one you preform best in. besides, with day after weigh ins, we actually get to see who is the bigger and smaller guy in fights, and we can make judgements with those numbers.
one more thing...it would get in the way of big fights. if everyone fought at their honest walking around weight, then you wouldnt see fighters move up in weight much. when fighters from different weight classes clash, its a big thing. same day weigh ins would mess that up a bit.

You bring up good points, but there should be some kind of regulation. 130lb champ fighting at 148 is too extreme.
