I think youre right o the money mostly but an interview I heard I heard convinced me just wiegh-in just before the fight is a bad idea unless you also have multiple weigh ins 6 weeks before. That way there's no extreme cutting just the last two days. Maybe make it so they have to be within 5 pounds all year round with one or two misses allowed for illness orwhatever.

Yoel needs to go up a weight-class I think.
Missing weight all the time is not acceptable, and fighting below your weight is kinda like cheating.
I like Yoel, but these weight games need to end. It's not fair, or healthy.
I think they should do a double-weight-in. The first much like it is now, but a second time as they enter the cage.
That would force fighters to compete at their actual weight, and there'd be no reason to do dangerous weight-cuts anymore.
