Do you have a problem with "weight bullies"?

As long as you make weight and don’t break any rehydration rules I don’t see the problem.

absolutely not. if you can make the weight whats the problem. the whole point is that you cut as low as you can go, otherwise everyone would fight at there walking around weight

I don't blame the fighters but I wish the sport could eradicate it somehow. I like fights to be determined by talent not who can cut the most weight

There's no such thing as a weight bully. If you make weight that is all that counts.

I don't have a "problem" with it but it does make me have less respect for their Ws. I am not one of these guys who completely disregards a win because of a difference in size. But, I'm also not going to act like size doesn't make a difference. It makes a big difference and fans don't seem to understand that.

Yes I do especially with all these drug cheats and fighters outweighing others on fight night by a full two divisions while being naturally bigger anyway.

I remember winning titles at different weights was something special these days everyone is sucking down dangerous amounts and doing it.

Fight someone your own size applies here.

I don't got a problem with it. Its within the current rules. I don't think it SHOULDN'T be talked about doe either as some will try to claim when its discussed without too much throwing guys under buses by those typically reasonable guys. Idk that it should be considered a cheat code for cats who can lose weight or a unfair disadvantage for those who can't, but the rules are the rules. So if enough people have issues with it, change it.

How much of an advantage do you think coming in x lbs (pick a number or various numbers or % over or w/e) over gives a guy on average percentage-wise?

Do you think its a bigger advantage then PEDs will give a fighter on avg?
