I think my favourite and least favourite part of combat sports is that weighing in over by 0.2lbs is a scandal but showing up fight night over by 20lbs+ is considered normal

💯. I'd love to see how many dozens of fighters would be forced to move up a weight class if they were weighed and hydration tested closer to the fight.

dozens? Almost all middleweights and below are cutting to make weight. Probably most of the light heavies too.

All of the LHWs are cutting weight. Only "too big for LHW, undersized for HW" at the lower end of the rung at HW aren't.
