My friend is a wrestler and does the same thing. Fighters want to weigh in as light as possible so they can be the strongest in their class. So they drop weight hard in terms of eating very little and cutting water before weigh in. They then eat and drink up to the fight.

2 days of eating like a queen I'll gain 8lbs no problem. Probably only 3lbs of food weight, 5lbs of water weight. Its a high carbohydrate load + drinking lots of water. Always gets me hella stronger that week lifting wise though
