You do realize that two people can weigh exactly the same and look dramatically different at that same weight? For example a guy who is 6'1" tall at 155 pounds vs a guy 5'6" at 155 lbs or a guy who is more muscular vs a guy who is lankier and leaner. The same state athletic commissioners (see- no quotes needed on "sport") that license boxers also run the scales at MMA weigh ins. They weigh in the day before the event just like professional boxers do. So both fighters usually put on at least several pounds or even up to 20 pounds or so in the 24+ hours before the actual fight.
