Immediately after pre-fight weigh-ins at Dave & Buster's in Chicago, Chris Martins drinks <i>Pedialyte</i> while talking with friends and his fight team. Beginning five days before the fight, Martins drinks two gallons of water per day in order to make his body use the bathroom often. He has no food or water for 24 hours before weigh-ins so he can make the 155-pound weight requirement. Then he has to re-hydrate himself with fluids such as <i>Pedialyte</i> while eating well. This type of pre-fight regimen is normal for fighters.
