In California, fighters have their weights checked on the day of their fights – not simply once they need to hit their marks on the size.
In 2017, the California State Athletic Fee put a plan in place to attempt to reduce on extreme weight slicing. Inside these guidelines was a cap on how a lot a fighter might achieve from the official weigh-ins to the combat.
If a fighter gained greater than 10 % again earlier than the bout, the fee then might make a advice that she or he transfer to a better weight class. If a fighter gained greater than 15 %, the fee had plans in place to doubtlessly cancel fights.
At UFC 311, which befell this previous Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif., 15 of the 26 fighters on the cardboard gained greater than 10 % of their weight again. Six of 15 exceeded the 15 % threshold. MMA Junkie on Tuesday obtained a listing of fight-night weights from the CSAC.
Try the burden beneficial properties and percentages for all 26 fighters on the cardboard.
