Why are UFC/MMA fighters heavier during the fight when compared to weigh ins? Then,What is the point of weigh ins and weight classes?

No one here has answered you yet. Are they that thick?
I don’t have an answer neither, but I agreed with what you’re implying. There is no point I can see to having weigh in so far off from the competition. This leads to unnecessarily dangerous dehydration/rehydration. Perhaps the answer is just because it’s the ‘tradition.’
This norm is not everywhere tho. Olympic weightlifting starts competing 2 hours after weigh ins, so those athletes are actually trained and strong at their listed weights.
