    Do hw also rehydrate for fight night? If so, why do they need to?

    If they weight less, what does that indicate?

    Why would a heavyweight dehydrate before a fight? They don't have to make weight...

    That's what I am wondering. Maybe better put it. Do they watch or care what they weight if they are in good fight condition?

    There is no difference. They don't make a weight limit so they do not rehydrate at all.

    What you see is what you get.
