'Cyborg' was reduced to tears during weight cut for UFC debut
YouTube
For many fighters, making weight for a bout is the worst part of the whole process.
The proof is in the pudding in a recently released trailer for a documentary about Cris "Cyborg" Justino. The Invicta FC featherweight champion can be seen crying as she cuts down to 140 pounds for the first time in her career to quality for her UFC debut against Leslie Smith at UFC 198 in May.
Justino had to shed five more pounds than usual, a grueling task for a fighter who already cuts a considerable amount of weight to compete in the featherweight division.
