Absolute Championship Berkut announced that they will introduce a new weigh-in system and revamped weight classes in September 2016.
A Russian MMA promotion by the name of Absolute Championship Berkut recently announced that they would begin to implement a new weigh-in system as well as introduce new weight classes in the latter half of 2016.
According to an interview with the promotion's founder Mairbek Khasiev, weigh-ins will take place six hours before the fights actually take place, instead of the day before. The plans also include a new superheavyweight division.
"One could fully adopt the experience of the Asian promotion ONE Championship, but such an option was rejected due to the very high degree of invasion of privacy for the fighters that, in my opinion, is not quite correct," Khasiev told Sovsports.
