If you're a big guy, fight in your weight class. That's the purpose of weight classes, to make it even. Cutting 20 pounds for a weigh in and then gaining it all back when you rehydrate puts you alot heavier when you are fighting than what you actually weighed in at. What if you walk around at 185 but you have somoone 210 or more cutting down to 185. You make the weight but gain it all back before the actual fight. That person has a significant weight advantage and makes it uneven.
