I believe you should stay at a maximum of 10 pounds over your fighting weight, keep your conditioning, and make weigh ins easily? (Perfect example: Randy Couture, doesn’t win by weight advantage, but by conditioning.

what about the day of the fight? with this gradual method, how should I then add weight before the fight?

That is what Abe and Derik are talking about. They specifically say that dropping weight the day before will hinder your performance. The weight loss must be gradual so that the body can adjust and perform at maximum output.
If you do what these guys say, then it doesn’t matter when the weigh ins are.

I dont know when guys are going to understand that dropping so much weight a day before a fight isn’t healthy. MMA or any sport needs to switch to same day weigh ins.
