    It's an equal playing field. They all have the ability to drain and re hydrate. Not having enough time to hydrate properly will without a doubt create a dangerous precedent. People will always try to use edges. Making those allowable edges more dangerous in a sport where you are already risking your life just climbing through the ropes would be foolhardy.

    Absolutely.
    In regards to same day weigh-ins people have said that if a fighter cannot rehydrate in time and therefore is fucked for the fight it is their own stupid fault.
    I say that as the risk associated with this 'stupidity' is an increased likelyhood of death/serious injury it is unacceptable.
    Fighters will try to push the boundaries even knowing the risks. Therefore there must be systems in place that protect them from themselves (and those around them more concerned with matters other than the fighter's safety).
