Since Covid there has become this new virus of video weigh ins for amateur fights in MMA, Kickboxing and unlicensed boxing. These are pre recorded weigh in that fighters send to the fight promotor for the promotor to accept whether it is for an MMA, Kickboxing or Boxing bout.
General rules are:
1) Show Full Body on the scales
2) Use newspaper for date
3) Use a kettle bell, dumbell or weights plate to calibrate the scale
4) Say Password to prove time
I've always said there is far too many loop holes.
A pre recorded video for weigh ins are rediculous and is just a playground for Cheaters.
I believe both people should always stand on the same scales in person. However it should at the least be a live video call between both teams and fight promotor.
I always request a LIVE video call weigh in but I get made to seem like I am being paranoid, unreasonable or awkward.
Promotors say there are strict rules but no one ever sticks to them properly even if it is unintentional as there are too many to remember or it could be good acting.
Due to the pressure and risk of fights being called off or fighters and coaches getting upset promotors will accept the videos even if it doesn't follow all the rules clearly. Even the opposing team feel pressure to accept due to losing the fight and no one wants to accuse someone of tampering with scales.
In this video I will show you 3 easy ways anyone can cheat the scales without anyone knowing. Due to the space I used, I will just clarify there was no grabbing the walls or anything over head so all these can be done anywhere.
Watch till the end, il also show a bonus one of how you can use a badly calibrated scale and make it seem accurate.
Method 1) The Editor
Method 2) The Assistant
Method 3) The Sleight of Hand
Bonus Method) The Calibrator
MMA Coaches and Boxing Coaches watch this video, so you know what to look out for and help encourage Fight Promotions to arrange Live video calls, be it WhatsApp, Zoom call or another.
