Moving the weigh-in out further helps the fighters get hydrated, they now just need to force them to stop cutting.

If that doesn't stop the cutting then nothing will. If fighters are willing to dehydrate themselves on fight day then there's not much you can do. I don't think there's a way to avoid these things from happening if they're dead set on doing weigh ins the day before the fight.
