Tweeted from Mike Dolce's twitter:
**That's pretty wild. I would have thought he would get back to around 200 lbs in 24 hours, but 3 hours is absolutely insane.

The problem is then the amateur wrestlers won't have a size advantage.

Instead we have guys that put in an IV (Jake Shields against Kampmann) after weigh ins to rehydrate because they either 1. want to outweight their opponent by 10 pounds or 2. screwed up their cut and that is the only option to rehydrate without killing themselves (Yes you can die from drinking too much water in too little time. Look it up).

Also, fighters who dont cut weight have their own advantage. They tend to be in better shape as they're not forced to rehydrate immediately and they tend to not be as sluggish. Some people have a natural ability to lose way more water than others yet remain healthy, who are we to take that ability away? I bet Jon Jones' reach has done way more damage than Alves weight and both meet the guidelines. (Im obviously not saying Jones should move up, just saying both have different natural advantages)
It is unhealthy and the second they have clear evidence about life span/illness/damage to fighters bodies due to cut, then there should be new guidelines.

Personally as a fan I am NOT interested in who has this ability. I am interested in who is the best fighter in their optimum physical shape.
