@caseharts here to break down the problems with weight cutting, the current solutions and our solution
One thing we can all agree on, is that weight cutting is awful and needs to end.

Love your stuff . Bloody elbow brings common sense to mma and ufc specifically . Thank you
Nice video! I think hydration testing can be fudged. My solution is just weigh fighters right before they enter the ring.
love case
The most important video concerning MMA this year. (Or last year… and …etc.) Share this. Bloody Elbow lives!
The best solution: To fight in many of the top promotions, you must be in the USADA pool for 6 months. During that time, you are randomly and systematically drug tested. You could easily add weight monitoring to this process. The fighter must demonstrate that they are consistently within 5 pounds of their fighting weight at any given random moment while they are active in the USADA pool, regardless if they are in a training camp or have been inactive for a prolonged period of time. If they are in the pool, they count as active, and therefore must be 5 pounds within fighting weight at any given moment. If they fail, they receive a fine, not a suspension like a failed drug test. There, I solved it. No need for crazy science or hydration tests.
good stuff
I’d say add 10lbs to every weight class
The problem with this is, people will move down a weight class almost always to get a size advantage..that is why people always hit the max allowed weight, they want to be as big as possible for their weight class. This has been thought of before but it just simply does not take into account that when it comes to money, people will do anything to get a competitive advantage. They will simply find a way to lose weight by eating vegan or lack of calories for 2 months that a doctor will deem healthy..
Woot
With the amount of money some of them make they could just buy new kidneys 🤔 I wish they would be fair and have people fight within 10lbs of their natural Weight.
