    They are not buddhist and are vain glory fighters, they pay. No sympathy for any of you. Noisy noise, hominids. Whirled around by the sense are we. How great are you. Spartans of old were tough. Navy seals the water exorcises that's tough. The 200lbs+ men smashing their heads in is just cutting yourself short, well the one down that is. Until you get downed, expensive irreplaceble brain cells that no decades of still meditation can reverse. If the part is functioning and attached it can be changed perhaps fully healed but not for ego fighters like these. You get yours. The universe handed your medal now go cry like a child. Ha. I spend my 7 days per week feeling every single nerve, tendon and bone in me. One chance you have to control the biological vehicle that is your mind and body. Fighting is incredibly risky and likely to be your doom. I understand it seems alluring to be glorious and beating your opponents but like fame it is fleeting but I think this machinery that we have can be fully piloted and almost anything we want can be developed inside ourselves.

    It is ridiculous to set a weight class but then allow fighters to enter the ring way over that weight limit. In what world does this make any common sense? It doesnt. Way back when someone figured it out as a way to cheat but now it is basically a way to make everyone cheat and it is solely the organizations responsibility because they not only condone it but they promote it. A 150 lb weight limit with both fighters entering the ring at 165 lbs? What a farse and it is a fraud. Same day weigh-ins just makes common sense.

    One of the reasons I went up and stayed at Middle weight. I used to kill myself, making 170, and then balloon up to 210 after a camp due to over eating. I have a much better relationship with food at a higher weight.

  • @MMAVoodoo
    @MMAVoodoo Před 21 hodinou

    This topic is a good substitute measure of IQ. I can't believe some of these responses... "If both fighters cut the same amount of weight, why do they do it?" Because if one didn't, the other would have an extreme size advantage. "Why don't we just add more divisions?" Because this does nothing to decrease the incentive to fight in the smallest weight class possible to maximize your relative size advantage. "Why don't they weigh in cage side before the fight?" Because fights would be cancelled during a live PPV and threaten viewership and sales if fans don't even know the event they're paying $100 for will have the fights they're promised. Just add strict hydration testing on the weigh in day. This places an artificial ceiling on the amount fighters can temporarily cut, allowing them to all relax a bit and stay healthier because they are not forced to join the prisoner's dilemma in order to compete.

    • @RD-wg9em
      @RD-wg9em Před 10 hodinami

      The only issue is hydration testing can be cheated, cutting and drinking pure water is a way for instance. It can fuck up electrolyte balance and water poison an individual so there’s that. A hydration and blood test. To ensure sodium levels and other markers of proper hydration are met would be a solution, would allow to keep day before weigh ins. The classes would probably have to be shifted up to account for it though

  • @MMAVoodoo
    @MMAVoodoo Před 22 hodinami

    Clickbait title. It's been a part of all combat sports for many decades... Adding more weight divisions will do nothing. If you think it's bad, add hydration testing at weigh-ins. Fighters will still do and always do whatever they can to get an edge, but that will solve extreme, short term weight manipulation. That's the only fix.

    speaking of "weight classes that don't exist" Jens Pulver has an interesting story. The Promoters (including dana i'm pretty sure) basically lied about the first lightweight championship fight. BOTH fighters were over the weight that they were 'supposedly' supposed to be fighting at for the title. Crazy shit. Not gunna lie, when women that are shorter than I am are "naturally" 20-30 lbs. heavier than I am when I struggled to get to 135 at 5' 10 makes me feel like i'm not a man. It makes very much sense that a dehydrated brain that has less cushion is going to get knocked out and damaged MUCH easier

    I think you could also add long term weight monitoring, like they do with random drug tests at high levels. If you are a fly weight, you'd better be a fly weight all the time. If somebody wants to go for a double championship, they need to make weight months out and maintain it, or maintain within a couple pounds

    The disconnect is kind of insane. Part of the reason watching fighting is enjoyable is because it's vicarious. Watching two people beat the shit out of each other is a way to safely experience a fight, which is something we all know is harmful. But then people turn around and say 'we didn't know it was harmful'.
