i think by taking the belts out of it, you have the ability to let the fighters be flexible on weight. if both parties are ok with it let them go in at their natural fight weight.
All a champion-vs-champion fight does is manage to clog up 2 divisions with one fight.

Fighters should fight at their natural weight. It's stupid of them to put their bodies through hell.

I remember cutting 30 pounds in a month for a fight one time. It was awful. Just chugging 3 gallons of water per day, working out, sweating and pissing, followed by a cold shower. Then repeat. Not fun.
