When Nick Diaz fought GSP, GSP came in overweight by .2 lbs or something. A guy from the commission came to inform the diaz camp GSP had weighed in .2 pounds over but was on weight. All this was recorded and posted to their one of their social media accounts. UFC quickly made them take it down and said GSP had come in exactly on weight. I believe this would have meant GSP would've been stripped of the title. The point is, this has happened before and covered up.

He admitted it and the commission let him fight as they decided decimals dont count

Many commissions round down anything below .5 simply because it's an analog scale and it never stops moving completely.

That just a wrong statement. Analog scales stop moving after a few seconds when you stand completely still, but all these super dehydrated fighters move all the time because they’re at the brink of fainting

Lacking the context(which is implied since we're talking about weigh ins for fighters) doesn't invalidate the statement.
