Excellent point. these fighters that take fluid off to make weight take a huge risk. because the fluid barrier that cushions the brain from the skull is the last place that gets re-hydrated. About 48 hours or so after weight in ! Subdural Hematomais a greater possibility in a fighter that take that water weight off ! So when you see that over night gain of 14-15 lbs that’s not good !
