Well there's always the incentive to get lower to get less of a penalty. I don't know if the breakpoints are known or if it's subjective where it's set.

People will probably downvote and disagree but I hope the UFC keeps PRod around. 

Its easy to just claim a guy is "unprofessional". Changing your body chemistry for the sake of athletic competition is not linear nor is it easy. To really get down a weight class in combat sports is a combo of genes and behavior change.

The behavior change part is the thing that takes a lot of time. Its not one thing either like "eat less pasta, run an extra mile". In reality there's a lot of small lifestyle changes that all culminate towards making you a better athlete. 

I think PRods team asking for an extra 3 weeks to try and make weight shows hes at least trying to make some changes but just isn't there yet. The fact that he wouldn't accept a catchweight shows hes probably not close. He may have been able to make 160 but was just completely drained and didn't want to take the L. 

I of course won't be surprised if he's cut, but in general I think brawler types are fun to have on the roster. Not to many fights id take PRod in at 170 though. If he wants to be successful in the UFC hes gotta figure this weight cut out.

Jailton 231 against Bigi 265... Interesting.

I think this fight won't pass the second. If Jailton takes Bigi down, it's over. Shamil at least tried to defend the sub attempts, but Bigi is clueless on the ground. 

I just hope that Bigi can stuff some takedowns, so we can see how Malhadinho is on the feet. He said in a few interviews that he started as a boxer cause of his father, so...

Does anyone know if Stamann vs. DSA was always a catchweight bout? The fact that its scheduled at 140 just makes me that much more confident in DSA.

Hopefully Pete Rodriguez gets cut now, he’s still young so maybe in the future if he’s able to rack up some wins outside of the UFC we can see him on the Contender Series, as of right now though he should definitely be cut. Wasted not only the UFC’s time but also costed Levy a paycheck.

Also @foppa just saw ur post. Just fyi, levy said he offered catchweights at 158 and 160, but pete couldn’t make both. He said pete stopped cutting weight at 162 lbs. that’s a 6 lb weight miss. The fact he couldn’t make weight just three weeks before is crazy. That is not somebody who should be in the ufc

Imagine if you will a world where "professional" fighters actually fought at the weight they signed a contract to fight at

Imagine no dehydrated fighters looking like "zombies", imagine the hardest part of a fight was the actual fight and not the weight cut, imagine how much healthier and safer it would be for the fighters, how much easier it would be to get short notice replacements, how you wouldn't need an 8 week fight camp to get ready. 

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Weight cutting is as old as pro sports it will never go away. "with weight classes"
Hell highschool athletes do it, to answer your question no it would effect levels of competition.
And Khabib would have been 10/20 as a welter weight or 0/30 at 185 :> lmao

"Natan Levy ✡︎ Natan_Levy
Just to be clear, we were scheduled to fight at 155(+1),
They asked for a catchweight so I agreed to fight him at 158, then they asked for 160 and I said Yes. I was about to go weigh in when I heard he was crying and losing his **** and quit at 162.
If you can cry you still got water in you homie."
