    I like how the IBF does it. Two weigh in's, one the day before and one the day. The day of the fight a fighter cannot rehydrate more than 10 pounds. I like this. I don't know all the specifics (is it only title fights?) but this seams to be the best of both worlds.
    Its at like 9am the morning of the fight. While its a better rule than any other organization, fighters still have 12+ hours to rehydrate more weight so it will only really affect extreme cases

      Wasn't that pretty much the case with the same day weigh ins? Morning time?

        same day weigh ins should be re instituted again.

        That way fight nights are against two fighters from the same division.

        not featherweights fighting welterweights and welterweights fighting middleweights.

        If you cant make weight move the F up and stop draining yourself so you can make a weight your body is not letting you weigh in so you can take advantage of smaller fighters after the rehydration period.

        ****ing scumbags.
