they do before, but you're right if they did it after it would change.

they need to start examining the fighters before AND after the match for artificial greasing agents. 'skin cream' etc should not be allowed along with oil or vaseline.

Of course they can, and taking a bath in the shit the night before a fight, then coming in dry is one way they try to get away with it.Just look up akiyama for the king of greasers. i'm sure he knows every trick in the book.

its just the cocoa butter to keep from getting ashy.carlos would need it but he is of a lighter complexion

He said he has never missed weight but I remember some squawk at a UFC where he missed weight. If I am wrong I apologize.

^ could be, I just figured he must have made weight against hughes as he lost the belt, unless for some reason the rules were way different back then.

Maybe I am thinking at 46 when he fought Verissimo?

Too bad Newton felt compelled to say anything seeing that he was WAAAAYYY over weight!!
