IMO they need to do something for the week of the fight. Weigh-ins are 5, 3, and 1 day prior to the fight and they have to be at a certain percentage over their weight limit each day so they aren't doing huge cuts in one or two days. Maybe it starts at 10% of their contract weight 5 days out, 5% 3 days out, and on weight 1 day out. Fine guys if they miss any of the weights. Any more than 5 days will be tough because guys often are only in town a week before the fight.
I would absolutely love it if a system like this was implemented. It'd get rid of the idiots like Anthony Johnson (granted, he's already gone).

I've managed to pull an impressive 0-4 record for picks since the Fuel broadcast started. I always get Perosh fights wrong too so time to go 0-5.

I saw him referred to as Anthony "Slowtime" Perosh on another site and couldn't stop laughing.

Those prelims were awesome. These free cards people complain about usually end up being great.
Also, Molly Qerim>Ariel Helwani.

So, I generally can't stand Chael Sonnen.
But he and Bonnar are absolutely fan-****ing-tastic together in the studio. Amazing chemistry.

Really? I didn't have him winning a round (maybe the 1st) but I did pick against him
