In the end what are we looking for? Even matchups. I have no desire to watch a fighter outweigh the other one by 25 pounds on fight night just because he's better at re-hydrating. They've both trained long and hard, and no one should be punished because of genetics. I've seen too many fights where difference in abilities is canceled by ridiculous size differences. If I want to see that, I'll switch to WWF or just watch heavyweight fights, where it's open-ended. A guy should win because the other guy can't hurt him because he's just too small? Ridiculous. Give me two evenly sized fighters any day.
