Whether it's for the triple champ status or moving up 3 weight classes to quickly, it's screwing over the best fighters in the world.

Examples:

1. Khamzat - Wants to move up to fight Jiri for the belt (3 weights). Bulks up and at the last minute decides to cut and fight Strickland. This cut obviously affected him. I was rooting for Strickland to win but this honestly helped Sean win.

2. Ilia - Wants to move up to fight Islam. (3 weights) The UFC was literally stalling to announce Islam vs Garry based on if Ilia won against Justin. His ambitions to move up to 170 led to him gaining alot mass that wasnt properly conditioned (you can see a visible difference in muscle). This may have played a massive factor as to why he got tired so quickly in the 3rd (obviously as well as the damage sustained).

3. Poatan - Wants to be the first triple champ and moves up way to fast and carried alot of unconditioned body weight. We know what happens next.

(What Ilia and Khamzat did was the equivalent of Poatan gaining all that weight to fight Gane and suddenly deciding to cut back down and fight Carlos).

Glad UFC 6 fixed how trunks are higher on the waistline like real life (trunks move up as you move in them). All previous installments had every fighter's trunks sagging in the front (like a damn Abacrombie and Fish model with their d**k root hanging out) and it looks weird. Makes their torsos look bigger and their legs smaller too. The trunk's belt line higher looks more realistic and less "flamboyant".
