Triangle is the expert on this so I will leave any information on the hows and whys to him. But I will throw this in:

Cutting is actually a part of the game, it's a strategy just as much as anything else. As you can see from Triangle's post, he has very sound reasoning why he cuts and he can tell you...it's not easy. It's one of the worst parts of training for many. So those that can do it sort of deserve to get the advantage during the fights. Anyone not willing to do it isn't as committed, in my opinion.
