One of the major concerns about the new, earlier weigh-in procedure that seems to be all the rage in MMA is that it could encourage fighters to cut even more weight. UFC president Dana White expressed that potential issue himself before UFC 199.
Mike Dolce, from his experience, doesn't see that happening. A big name in MMA weight management and nutrition, Dolce told MMA Fighting in a recent interview that he has been a big proponent of an earlier weigh-in long before it became a rule in California and adopted in other places. The diet guru can't foresee that fighters-will-cut-more downside happening.
