Rehydration clauses make no sense whatsoever. The only rule should be about making the predetermined weight. They need to just switch back to same day weigh ins to avoid these types of things. It would dissuade fighters from dropping too much weight, and if they did drop a ton of weight, it would affect them even more.
I put a whole speech about this same thing and the safety issues involved. But everyone already hates me so I deleted it haha.

The safe thing is to make people fight in their class. Some will try to cut same day and get destroyed because they are weak and then we would have people fighting in their actual weight class and less people dying. But more cancelled fights, lost money or lost lives, I know which path I expect the sport to take as it always has.
