What is the best way to rehydrate and energies myself for the fight? I do not want to cut weight now as I want retard strenght for fight

It's really hard to cut alot of weight on a same day weigh-in with out affecting your strength.  All I can say is eat light the day before, and workout later in the day that particular day,(you can do some sweat runs, shadowboxing or pad work all while wearing a sweatsuit) you have to cut off your fluid intake early in the evening on the eve of your weigh in (at around 7 or 8pm) and stay without fluids until the moment you step off that scale.  It's hell going without fluid but it's always worked for me, and it's good for loosing around ten-pounds, but not too much more.

Use Pedialite to rehydrate after the weigh in.

Good luck!

That does suck that you can't weigh in the day before; Chute's right.  Hitting a sauna would be your best bet.

you're looking to drop ten lbs off that frame?

where you pulling it from? cutting toes off?

I have cut from 197 to make 185, but it was the day before.  Like others have stated, I used pedialite pops, and drink to rehydrate.  I was a TON stronger than the others when I rolled on the matt at 192.  I tried cutting to 170 once, (from 188), and I wasn't able to bounce back.  I was extremely weak, and by the second round, I was toast.  Don't reccomend cutting too much.
