Cris Cyborg & weight cutting in MMA- ESPN Outside the Lines

[@MJKircher1221]

The UFC needs to make the weight classes for men and women every ten pounds. For example, men's class, 135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185 and so on. Women's classes would be done the same way. The UFC needs to find out what the fighters natural weight is, what they naturally walk around at. Once that weight is figured out, they're put into the class they're closest to and if they happen to fall in the middle, the fighter can choose which class they want to go to. After the weight class is agreed upon, the fighters will only be allowed to drop one class or go up one class, nothing more nothing less. This would still enable the fighters to compete in multiple weight classes and it would stop the extreme weight cutting which would be much healthier and safer for the fighters and it would keep the competition closer. For example, there wouldn't be a guy that's naturally 180 cutting to 145 going against a guy that's naturally 165 cutting to 145. That 145 pounds is only held for the time it takes to be weighed and after the weigh-ins, the fighters put the weight back on and go up to nearly the weight they are normally. Anyway you look at it, something needs to be changed because the way it is now just isn't healthy or safe for the fighters. I really hope that it doesn't take the death of a fighter from weight cutting before the "powers that be" decide to take this issue seriously and change the system. As with everything else in life, when something is old and outdated it's thrown away and replaced with the newest, best version. The current weight cutting process is old and outdated. Unfortunately there isn't a new version available yet. This is where the UFC has a chance to be innovative and make the necessary changes to the weight cutting process for the health and safety of the fighters. The fighters are the bread and butter of the organization, without them, there is no UFC. They need to do what's best for the fighters and the company, period. Please UFC, do the right thing and make the changes, PLEASE!!!

[@suziepage1]

You are right. Its just stupid to have 2 people same weight cut 10-15 pounds and weight in. Later they drink and eat a lot and gain weight again. Does not make any sense. I would prefer to watch fights while knowing no one had to suffer through any harmful weight loss and is in the natural weight class...

[@voodoodolly]

Omg... I makes want to give her a hug ☹️

[@hamatoyoshi8711]

I saw that documentary… its insane!

[@Istebrak]

I always wondered how the hell they weigh in at 140 or 135 and look like absolutely minimum 170s in the ring. Their arm alone is my entire body weight. You don't weigh 135 and bench what they bench and strike like they strike.

[@cathyreese1605]

Cris, so sorry you had to go thru that. What sacrifices you have made for your beloved sport. I'm so thankful to God they finally created a 145 class for you and those like you.So much love to you.

[@louiswilliams984]

cathy reese they need a 150 class. 145 is still pushing it because she comes down from 170. The weight cut isn’t gradual over a period of months. She said she once cut 26 pounds in 2 days

[@mardigbidanian7119]

The weight cutting scenes were disturbing

[@iisslow]

EASY, stop lifting so much weight just to have an enormous strength advantage over other girls. She body builds and won't drop muscle mass.

[@jayvyngrant621]

Cyborg is a big girl.. Personally I do not even know how she makes 145.. So to go beyond 145...a WT.she barely makes... Is just a bit fucked up by the UFC.. I miss the days of having the weigh in on the day of competition.. It puts Everything in the places it should be.. Because 24 hrs is more than enough time to get back to a normal WT...

[@jedidaforce2595]

A lot of these fights are scheduled a month or two in advance, and some even longer. The UFC should require the fighters to lose the weight evenly throughout the weeks leading up the fight. If you have to lose 20 pounds in one month, then they should require the fighters to lose 5 pounds per week that way they’re not trying to cut 20 pounds in 3 days. Instead, the UFC should have them weigh in each week to check their progress.

That weight cutting is so stupid.

[@funnysht5093]

that’s so dangerous

[@randihigginbotham5070]

She’s a BEAST❤️ She trains like a champ. Fights like a champ. Has mad skills. But it’s all buried under “side eye” due to her past positive roid test. It’s a damn shame.

[@AGC828]

How is it doctors don't know the consequences of constant "weight cutting"? Or is that one doctor wrong? Also, I heard many experts say (not in the fight game), that a health number os 2 pounds of weight loss per week. So to take it to the extremes these 3 MMA fighters have...Chael loosing 17 pounds in 22 hours? Julie around 15 pounds in 3 days? Gotta take it's toll even if they look fine in this clip. Though they had been retired for a certain period already.

[@jedidaforce2595]

Her fighting at 145 isn’t going to make that much of a difference. Yes, it will be a little easier, but her natural weight is 175; she’s still going to have to cut 30 pounds. That’s still a lot of weight. I think her biggest problem is that she’s bigger than all the girls in MMA, and also bigger than most men. The UFC can’t open a division at 170 just for her because there won’t be anyone for her to fight.

[@bobbobertson6249]

no . shes a trangendered male

[@xPPAx]

I don't get what's the issue here. If you have an extreme cut it means that you are getting too big, it means you should loose muscle mass isntead of dehydrating yourself until you're almost dead. It's not like cyborg is some skinny girl, she's fucking jacked.

[@deebsmigs]

They look bad, depleted. I agree, Dillashaw, looks the worst. But by far, Cyborg’s weight cut, from the behind the scenes video, looked painful.

[@mrmagnificent7034]

Damn . i wish the best for her . this worst than bean in hell i been there but NOT ON THIS LEVEL NOT EVEN CLOSE I SWEAR THIS WELL KILLS NO MATTER HAW TUGH U THINK U ARE .

For all you ppl things Cris is a juice cheater. All pro athletes and most average athletes all cheats. Is part of our sports cultural started since the first olympian who cheated by wearing shoes, so for all you muscle supplements users you an't no different from her. Learn to live with it or change the channel.

[@BazookaIke]

you seem too emotionally attached to her. Cyborg is one of the worst cheats in the history of the sport. It is so obvious.

[@craighylton9137]

This makes me cry. Horrible!

[@ToDaMaxxx]

I'm sorry but I don't wanna hear her bullshit anymore. She can cut weight if she stopped with all the extra shit that makes her bigger like steroids and deadlifting 300lbs. Kissing the ass of a fighter who has had more than one issue with the USADA while jumping in cages at least 15 pounds bigger than a mediocre out of shape looking opponent. Everyone trashed Ronda before her losses talking bout she hasn't fought a real fighter...well neither has this chick and she does what she does on testosterone. If you wanna deny it while still looking at her...mind you she is still gaining weight and still gaining mass and then expecting people to cater to her is crazy. Look at this woman. She looks like a woman who not only juices but is a habitual user. I cannot

[@MindBat]

All for the money and fame.

[@switchODT]

stop complaining cyborg, drop some of that muscle mass n u will be able to make weight comofortably like the other girls

[@ItsL4R4N]

nathan meakin clearly dont know what you are talking about.

[@switchODT]

well im pretty sure i do :/

[@ItsL4R4N]

Then you should reevaluate your opinion. Cyborg has maybe the biggest weight cut of any athlete in the UFC. There is just so much weight you can cut before its dangerous.... even 145lbs is really pushing it for for her.

[@switchODT]

ur stating a fact im stating that if she lost some of her massive assets her muscles and she shredded some of that she wouldnt have to go threw dehydration shit, please use your inteligence and stop being simple minded u cretin, thanks :)

[@shumi3735]

Holy crap dude, this is all so unnecessary, just lose some muscle mass. Get your walking weight lower. My gut feeling/intuition says it's some kind of body-dismorphia. She is so adamant not to lose some damn weight. It's no surprise USADA caught her. She likes to be big and strong. She's willing to risk getting popped and she is willing to risk her health too because of that.

[@dennisbennaducci6608]

[@asianlivesmatter3634]

Damn...look at that face..man or woman or????...

[@MrSnapy1]

So sick of this she is obviously juiced to the gills just got popped for peds yet AGAIN. All she complains about is cutting weight loose some muscle mass.Perhaps if she had a bit more skill in striking she wouldn't need all that mass.As she mainly just plows forward throwing power bombs with little to no technical skill involved. Everyone thinks she is the best but got beat in kickboxing by a skinny girl Jorina who has skill and much less muscle mass. Cyborg does not want fair fights most of her fights have been at catch weight where she has a good 20 pounds on her opponent.

[@yourfullofsheite]

She got busted by USADA.

[@mariadaly467]

The fact is that a judoka or a karateka can win against cyborg on their tatami;so a kickboxer can win on her ring... And a mma fighter on the cage

[@mariadaly467]

[@slinkytreekreeper]

That's on her and her only. She shouldn't have cheated if she wanted to be respected as an athlete and person. There's no free passes because you own up to it once caught.Now she is only respected as a fighter just like every other cheat still in the UFC. Telling someone to grow up ain't changing anything, still a roid freak - you don't get that ugly body and face from a drug free existence.

[@samsboxingexperiment2193]

Natalie she's also risking her health by making weight. It's actually very dangerous to cut that much weight but I agree. This is her fault

[@Istebrak]

It's not about walking weight. If they lost their walking weight they'd strike lighter, they'd be weaker. You can't get all that mass and muscle and not have a high walking weight. They need to be strong. The issue isn't them, its the MMA system.

[@Dingoplexor]

Natalie gtfoh I'm so sick of hearing it already! She popped for a diuretic n it was due to the last extreme weight cut. She's also been cleared since n isn't on anything now for almost 7 years! Fuckin idiots!!! it ain't her fault that GDR won the belt n started crying about needing surgery instead of manning up n takin that ass whooping like a real warrior
