Eddie did a horrible job at making his argument, but he's absolutely right when it comes to the amount of weight classes. There is room for a Cruiserweight division to split the gap between Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight, but adding too many divisions is one of the worse things that ever happened to boxing.
Yes, certain fighters will be able to fight at more optimal weights if they want to. But in reality, more options does nothing but make it a lot harder to set up the fights we all want to see. And it puts ALL the negotiating power into the hands of whichever is the more popular fighter.
And titles are everything! A title doesn't make you the best, but being the best should come with the title. The interim built (in McGregor's case) is real. If you aren't active, how in the world can anyone reasonably argue that you are currently the best fighter in the world for that division? The assumption that someone who hasn't fought in a year is the same fighter as he was over 12 months prior is a ridiculously illogical one.
We all obviously want to discourage dehydration. The reason is for fighter safety... so the last thing you want to do as the cure is something that's even more dangerous for the fighter. That's why the IV ban is so stupid. It's like banning condoms because you don't want people unsafe sex. Some (maybe even most) will consider abstinence, the others will have unprotected sex.
The ONLY way to get fighters to stop cutting weight, is to stop using weight as the distinction. The technology exist. Look at a person's body composition, and assign him a minimum category based on that non-biased objective assessment of his individual biology. From that point, let fighters do whatever they want as long as they are healthy enough to pass random physicals all throughout camp and fight week. You come into the cage fat, your bad. EPO sounds horrible. But it's not nearly as dangerous as alcohol is. So if this is about fighter safety (and not just cheating) then why is the former banned and the latter allowed?
In closing. Eddie Bravo was right. And any boxing fan should understand this. Worse thing you can do for the sport is make it easier for the Titos of the world to avoid the Chucks.
Definitely put better into words than Bravo did although I'm not sure about letting fighters do whatever they want to get ready. Bit of a stretch there.
I agree with most of it except maybe the cruiser weight addition. The reason being that heavier guys can cut bigger numbers of weight per body mass %. Considering most of the bigger 205ers walk around at 235 - 240 plus they are right in the middle of HW naturally while making sure they don't get too heavy. Most of the best HWs have been around that 240-250 mark too like fedor, Cain, couture, JDS and Werdum. It's rare that a freak like Lesnar or Carwin arrive and even then they've been proven to be beatable. I don't like the idea of making it easy for someone to hold 2 belts simultaneously and clog both divisions, not sayin the UFC would allow a dual belt holder but for the right guy and the publicity they could generate for him they might. Imagine if Cain had 2 belts during his layoff? 
couldn't agree more
Agree about not adding more weight classes. I already think there are too many. haha
I would like to see:
145
160
175
190
205
300
155
165
175
185
195
205
230
HW no limit

What wouldn't you let them do specifically? I hate the idea of EPO, but I don't see how you can stop it. And I don't see how it's any worse than alcohol (which I use as my measuring stick). Or why it should be treated any different than alcohol. But I'm open-minded. If there are any good arguments I want to hear them.

I think a few of you missed the part where I said that they shouldn't go by weight at all lol. That's the ONLY way to get rid of weight cutting. And I think getting rid of weight cutting is a HUGE deal.
They could do something different like, what your weight would be if you had the ideal amount of water and fat in your body and that would be your minimum division. That last part is me spit-balling, but I'm sure they could figure out an objective way to evenly match up people's body types.
