Famous UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett clarified the reasons behind his significant weight gain following his bouts in the world's premier fighting league.
When I put [my body] in starvation mode for a week [to make weight for the fight], my body holds on to everything. So as soon as I have salty 🌟stuff, it just holds the water in me. That’s why I look bloated rather than fat.
