I would guess from rehydrating and eating. Boxers do that too and its noticed when they get in the ring. Fighters have to be comfortable fighting at a certain weight minus the extra weight which affects stamina and cardio. They dont want to have a lot of water weight from food and hydrating. Its easy to lose water weight but just a quick to put it back on.
