I can see how same day weigh ins might make it more dangerous for guys cutting a load of weight to try and fight in a weight class they are too big for but to be honest I think that's fair enough.
Is it really fair that some of these massive wiry type guys can get be allowed to get down to a weightclass where they will be fighting much smaller men and then having the benefit of rehydrating with a 14 lb fight night weight advantage.
My attititude is that this makes the sport safer for the little guy, or more accurately the guy who is in his natural weight class and is fighting someone who really shouldn't be fighting in the division at all.
My biggest concern with same day weigh ins would not be fighter safety (fight in your own damn weight class you cowards!) but rather the fact that many more fights might get pulled on the morning of the fight becuase one fighter doesn't make the limit![]()
