I totally agree that the day before weigh in has been reduced to a joke. Originally it was meant to allow guys to shed a reasonable amount of weight, like one to three pounds and then be able to rehydrate with reasonable safety. The way guys have done it instead is guys who should be fighting at 160 are boiling down to 147 then showing up in the ring weighing 162. Fucking ridiculous.
