Dana White bekräftar genom podcasten ’UFC Unfiltered’ att de tar slopar de tidiga invägningar. Detta på grund av att flera fighters har missat vikten efter det nya regelverket som trädde i kraft 2016.
We’re getting rid of it.
We’re looking at taking the weigh-ins back to the way they used to be so when the guys weigh in there at the fight, that will be it, that’ll be the real weigh in.
Here’s what I believe, any time you change something, everybody looks to take advantage – as much advantage – as they can of the situation. I think that when we started doing morning weigh-ins it was very good. Everybody was making weight, everything was great but then people start cutting it closer and closer and closer, thinking they can put on more weight because they have more time to recover. And the reality is, it f****d everything up. We’re looking to go back to 4 [pm].
Enligt uppgifter från MMA-reporter Mike Bohn har det nya regelverket som trädde i kraft för ca. två år sedan, inte motverkat antalet missade vikter. I själva verket har antalet missade vikter i princip dubblats.
