MMA cutting is a terrible example.

They try to rid their body of as much water as possible to lower their weight.

When we say fasting for health it usually means lots of water, but no calories.

You are completely missing the point.

It isn't that MMA cutting is healthy, it is that fat is burned first, not muscle. Fasting for a day here and there isn't going to make someone 'lose all their muscle mass'.
