Would there be any reason for intentionally doing that? Also, when a fighter dehydrates in order to make weight, is healthier to sweat out as much water as possible close to the weigh in, or do it over the period of a few weeks?

maybe to get his body adjusted to it? so its not as much of a shock right before the fight?

I didnt watch the episode so just speculating.

Who is dehydrating? Anyways that is not good for any reason at any time.

He wasn't dehydrating.

It's called an intense workout and then being told to take a piss when he hasn't consumed water yet.

As someone noted here, when you are constantly training on high intensity you are constantly dehydrated. Not a rocket science, really.

Yeah obviously after sweating out that much after a workout at that pace, he would be somewhat dehydrated. Although He'd be drinking water throughout his workout. I was more just wondering for my own personal knowledge than wondering about Floyd. Anybody know about when losing water weight before the weigh in is best ideally?

I am pretty sure Floyd does take supps of some sort, but so is everyone else. Basic stuff like fish oil and amino acids are a must when you are constantly sweating out nutrients.
