Wich means, alot of fighters right now will have to change their weight-cutting practices. The way alot of fighters are making weight, is to dangerous in regards to brain damage, they state. And it will be checked on before the fight, if they are dehydrated or not.
Can come into affect from March 1st.
"Perhaps the strongest language in the new CSAC rules is the outright banning of dehydration to make weight, which is a practice common in MMA and amateur wrestling. While it was merely suggestion before, CSAC will now require doctors to test for signs of dehydration in pre-fight physicals and make it part of the physician's pre-fight questionnaire."

I hope there will be acceptable levels of measurement here. Imagine waking up late, and having to rush to the weighins, and forgetting to grab a water bottle on your way there, and failing for dehydration.....

I believe they plan on specific gravity urine tests.
"A urine specific gravity test compares the density of urine to the density of water. This quick test can help determine how efficiently your kidneys are diluting your urine. Urine that’s too concentrated may indicate that your kidneys aren’t functioning properly, or simply that you aren’t drinking enough water.
The main role of your kidneys is to determine how many substances, such as glucose and electrolytes (salts), should be in your blood. If you have too many, your kidneys will get rid of them through your urine.
However, sometimes your kidneys don’t filter efficiently, you’re dehydrated, or your body starts releasing nutrients it shouldn’t, such as glucose. This is where specific gravity testing can help your doctor make a diagnosis." -healthline.com
