In an ideal world that would be the answer but it's not an ideal world; fighters would still dry out to gain the strength advantage putting their health at risk in the ring. Weighing fighters and monitoring them at different stages in the weeks before a fight by an independant company would ensure they lose the weight safely and are the correct weight come the public weigh-in could solve the problem. Although, I suppose with scale, cost and manpower not to mention corruption it would be difficult.
