    Which is why I've been saying for a while that there should be a limit on the amount of weight you're allowed to gain in the time after the weigh-in.

    If it's an 130 pound fight, you shouldn't be allowed to rehydrate over 140. If it's a 135 pound fight, you shouldn't be able to enter the ring above 147, etc.
    that would be even more harder on fighters, that means they have to watch their weight twice before the fight. its additional stress the fighters do not need.

    Too bad it's only a ban in Mississippi, that isn't going to hurt him at all. I hope he gets sued by Nate and has to pay out of his next fight's purse. Especially after what 3 fights in a row falling through with this guy.

    I think the IBF has some additional weight restrictions......
