Bodybuilding competitions are the same thing, you don't eat or drink before a competition because being dehydrated accentuates muscles. Fighters also fast and dehydrate themselves before a weigh-in, but that's a little different (in terms of purpose, it's still not great physically/mentally).

It would be so trivial to change the weigh-in rules, prevent a lot of suffering and probably get better fights too
