Many times on Friday at the weigh ins, the fighters are 140, 147, 150, 151, or whatever their weights are supposed to be. How really can someone put on 15 + lbs. overnight? Is that really even possible, or is that somewhat exaggerated for the general public/fans?
fighters are dehydrated at weigh ins (reason for the cut physique). Water makes up more than half of your body weight .. its easy putting on 10 lbs after a weigh in
