    I favour them, the closer they are to the weight and title they are fighting for the better. They should check that both fighters are healthy and make the weight with ease by checking every few weeks and then they will be healthy.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    This is precisely the point. Why do fighters necessarily need to arrive at the weigh-in dehydrated and borderline sick? If "same day" weigh-ins were implemented... additional controls would also be needed to ensure that weight losses by fighters to get to the weight were done naturally and gradually, not coming in like a starving child poster and then rehydrating back to 20 pounds over the weigh-in weight. This current practice makes weigh-ins almost meaningless, 'cause the fighters are not the same size in the ring, which is not the intent.
