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.
