The fact that it is a part of the sport and whether it should be part of the sport are two different things though. Measures should be taken to help assure it isn't. Otherwise there's not much point to weight classes.

But I agree, weight cutting probably didn't have anything to do with his broken leg. Shoot, if anything he probably decreased the likelihood of it happening a wee bit by enabling him to fight smaller fighters than he'd face at 170. lol
