Impressive the sacrifices that some fighters make. And then people don't even treat them with the respect that they deserve. I seriously doubt that 99% of the athletes in the world would go through something like this. Big respect !

[@saladinbrama4556]

Honestly you just spoke my mind. I am really asking what this insane effort is giving these fighters in return since they don not make as much money as say boxers.

[@filipesgoncalves]

***** yes but she still has to do the sacrifice, and we could see how much she suffered in this documentary. I am sure that there are a lot of athletes that wouldn't go trough this.. they would just quit.

[@eeyore077]

absolutely true!

[@Michael-mh4vr]

You mean sacrificing your health taking all sorts of drugs?

[@filipesgoncalves]

***** Yeah, but when i was saying athletes i was mostly talking about other sports... like football ( the real one, not the american handegg one), Basketball, Tennis, etc. Those guys are pussies compared with most of the fighters.

[@MMAWORLD]

What an amazing Documentary!.Much Respect to Cris Cyborg!.

[@ronniemark9690]

Jack Jameson because your just a wee fart mate

[@jumbopaperklips08]

I LLlllOOOOOOVVVVEEE THIS CHICK! I THE MOST RESPECT FOR HER! KEEP IT MOVING MA'😊

[@aliezahjuarez5723]

I can understand why Tito ruined her career.

[@lokithebuilder1071]

MMA WORLD shes the complete package

[@paulobernardo1219]

I Love Cris

[@alialyasi114]

Cris's boyfriend killed me when he started crying, that shows how much she means to him

[@CC-bt8lf]

What part? I didn't catch that :(

[@TheGililgi]

CRISTAL V 35:34 😔

[@TheGililgi]

OneOfKind Leo if you don’t respect her just leave bro. Uncalled for.

[@paulreed3778]

OneOfKind Leo cris was born a women.... she used steroids to cut weight and that’s why she looks kinda manly and on top of that when you’re at that body weight with that body fat % you’re muscle/bone structure makes you look a lot different. Fallon Fox is the fighter y’all are thinking of who is a man that went through surgery. Do more research.

[@HarambeDLuffy]

OneOfKind Leo bro you gotta be one of the stupidest niggas in the world. Just because she’s built with loads of muscle that you probably don’t have and has skills beyond yours or mines you’re just gonna sit there and discredit all the work she’s done ain’t no Illuminati doing this shit it’s called hard work

[@angrykoala6390]

this lady is a warrior. I can't imagine how lethal she would be if she didn't have to cut Soo much weight

[@CarlosRiosmaliante]

more like dude thas why he she is dominating the sport against girls,like serana williams also he dominating a womans sport.cheating

[@louiswilliams984]

ANGRY KOALA Too bad they don’t have a 150 or 160 division

[@victormalyar9200]

freak, she should be a man again.@@NecumNaTo

[@GAboy3030]

Cutting weight like this is barbaric. There has to be a higher weight class.

[@ArchAngelWC]

there is the problem she's done so many roids and done such damage to her body its unsafe/nigh impossible for her to cut weight to said weight class in addition to her just being naturally heavier....it's brilliant propaganda this video...but it doesnt change the fact that the difficulties she suffers cutting weight are exacerbated by her previous use of P.E.Ds and sadly for her the lighter weights are where all the female fighters of note are.....she has no competition at the weight class she should be at...because they all got tired of fighting girls on roids and thus nobody is in the division they either cut weight to lighter divisions or quit WMMA...it's like Hunt with the fighting PED cheats...at a certain point it's not worth it when you know the other person isnt playing by the same rule set as you

[@FormigaFit]

They need to change it, it's not fair.

[@danielj7958]

ArchAngelWC it’s not roids. Cutting weight is brutal and becomes more difficult the more you do it. That’s why fighters move up weight as they get older. I wonder how people like Till, Israel, Holloway and Ferguson cut weight. They must get close to dying. Meanwhile DC be eating junk food at HW.

[@grayskindablue]

Daniel Javed Good point. And absolutely, sadly, they probably are. There’s longterm kidney damage, liver damage, and heart damage, bone density loss, most likely hormonal imbalances too. There’s something called “starvation hepatitis” (can’t remember the more fancy medical term) where when weight is dropped quickly and in severe dehydration, the liver starts enlarging and scarring, often staying enlarged and with raised enzymes for the rest of your life. The heart muscle can start getting eaten up too, the irregular rhythms from dehydration can never resolve which is super dangerous. It happens commonly in anorexia/bulimia, especially if laxatives/diuretics are being abused. (Actually, doing this several times a year, with working out so hard and getting into such a calorie deficit months prior to be in range, longterm it’s remarkably similar to years of anorexia or bulimia, even if we don’t have full case studies yet.) And if someone enters into a life threatening situation during one of these cuts and they need IV access *that second*? Good luck finding a vein, or one that won’t immediately collapse. Sometimes they’re even too dehydrated for an IJV (neck IV) to be accessible/hold up. So since the next step, a PICC, would take too long/most paramedics aren’t trained and don’t have the equipment, the next option is an IO, intraosseous. Where they drill a fucking hole, usually in your sternum, or your upper arm, or sometimes your shin, to get access straight to the marrow that won’t collapse. I don’t want to ramble, but those are the big ones, off the top of my head. Those basic intense health risks should be terrifying. For the fighters and every person in the room cheering, yes, but for MMA as a whole (and pretty much every other combat sport, body building, etc.) The fact that the Brazilian fighter dying right before getting weighed, after a massive cut (about the same Cris did here) didn’t send fucking _waves_ of panic and demands to reform through the entire industry doesn’t surprise me, but it really angers me. And it’s not stopping, we’ve seen way too many. Jessica Lindsay, in Australia, last year? The Muay Thai girl? She was only 18 fucking years old. By absolutely nothing but a few half-assed “yeah we know people are risking permanent injuries and death to make weight, we’re, uh, looking into it,” they’ve made their stance very clear. Health and safety will never come above profit, and the weigh-ins are the show before the show at literally whatever cost.

[@grayskindablue]

Daniel Javed Sorry bro that got long lol. It’s just such a disappointing thing for me to see these athletes continually hurt themselves to such an extent for massive corporations to rake in more money. I know personally that in many ways it’s just part of the “culture,” but to this extent? No, “unnecessary” doesn’t even begin to cover it.

[@johndoer6854]

I have been a Cris Cyborg fan for years. The UFC forcing her to lose weight to 140lbs is ridiculous. There are photos of her next other fighters and people and you can CLEARLY see this woman will never be able to get down to 135 lbs and be anything like what she should be. Do a google search of Cris Cyborg next to Frankie Edgar and see for yourself. She is a tall build woman. The UFC has wasted years not trying to acquire and promote her as the toughest woman in MMA. She is finally getting some exposure and will be remembered once she retires as the best female fighter in MMA ever. Too bad the UFC was too stupid to promote her and make fights for her for the fans. Imagine if Mike Tyson never got those memorable world title fights and only was forced to cut 50lbs and fight lesser known fighters. This is what is happening to Cris and it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe the UFC will wake up quickly and try to use Cyborg properly but so far they have not! Shame on the Dana and the UFC. The fans deserve to see the best female fighter on the planet fighting the best other fighters in her own weight class.

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

I make mine your words because I share your opinion and feelings. Cris Cyborg is an MMA icon. To see her dismissed like this by Dana White and IMG because they want to save Ronda's spotlight and for Dana to put her through brutal weight cut and deny her a Featherweight division to get revenge on Tito Ortiz, Wanderlei Silva and a couple people in her life is mean and outrageous. No one must treat such a great MMA fighter as Cris Cyborg like that and claims to love MMA - they love money. Anyway, Cris cyborg shines bright without bending down to White. (I'm 5'8 like Cris, my healthy weight is 168: to make 145 lbs is hard, believe me and I have way less muscle mass than her).

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

She's fighting again tonight at 140lbs

[@msfattytroll]

>The UFC forcing her to lose weight to 140lbs is ridiculous. Nobody forced her to do anything. She refused to shut her steroid ridden mouth calling out 135lb fighters until the UFC found one gullible enough to try a catchweight bout at 140 and then they OFFERED them the fight... Don't put this on anyone but Cyborg, she made her bed now she has to lie in it. She's only the best at 145 because she's been on steroids for years and packed on dozens of pounds of ill-begotten muscle. If she wants to fight the best in the word, cut the muscle to be able to make 135 comfortably. If she's not willing to do that, then she needs to shut the fuck up and continue to fight whatever cans that other shitty promotions want to throw at her.

[@msfattytroll]

If 140 is so gruelingly difficult for her to get down to, THEN WHY THE FUCK IS SHE CALLING OUT 135LB FIGHTERS?

[@iamtheimmortal2811]

there is no 155 lb women devision

[@bertinbahaya8812]

I never cared for mma before. And for some strange reason this video poped up and instead of ignoring it I opened it up to the end. I was tearfull for this young fighter and I just loved her straight. Though I still don't care about the mma I will as from now follow her career. Bravo Cris. Keep doing it. 👏👏👏

[@LynchByInch]

Glad to have you here Bertin, you just became a fan of the hardest working human in MMA.

[@bertinbahaya8812]

she is breath taking. I just hope they don't spoil her personna like they did with Rousey and let her be herself and also properly market her because, to my humble opinion, she is way better than rousey in everything (except self ballooning 😂😂).

[@robertjelly2678]

Such a cool comment :)

[@tweek4220]

she is forced to idiot, if she doesen't do it she has no one to fight... since there arent any weight class at her weight... once they make a 145 she will fight there

[@LynchByInch]

wutup5566 you have no evidence to back up your stupid statements aside from an incident in 2012, keep acting like a little hateful girl buddy.

[@dfgvegas]

By far the most powerful documentary I have ever seen and witnessing someone who will give their life for what they believe in is most inspiring ...at 35 minutes into this documentary I was bawling like a baby and I'm a grown ass man! What an amazing woman an example of determination and she gives it all to God and when she said she done it for Jesus she couldn't do it for herself and her man said God is good that just brought it all into perspective... I pray for her strength protection and success - what an amazing child of God! I love this woman and am now a fan ...and to think I only learned of her existence a day ago.

[@jumbopaperklips08]

D. Green ....what a sincere & beautiful comment!

[@luizps1]

Why does Cris attracts so much hate? Simple: because she is a woman and she is incredibly skilled and strong. You can see that the majority of those who hater her are men, trying to diminish her because somehow she bothers them. Some men are so weak and insecure that they think they need to humiliate and doubt of women's competence when they are best of them. Pure dumbest sexism! Several man fighters were caught more that one time cheating and this not bother most of these patetic "men" who's hating her. All respect for Cyborg, the most dangerous woman in the world!

[@wolfy4734]

Okay?

[@davidko3913]

Its bc she used steroids all her life shes more a Man then a woman.

[@lordvader748]

Jorina baars beat the fuck out her & JORINA IS THE BEST FEMALE FIGTHER IN THE WORLD NOBODY WANTS TO FIGHT HER!

[@ujjwallepcha9002]

Luiz Paulo .Dude...a man taking steroids and fighting with man isn't soo disadvantageous as other man also has a decent amount of testosterone in them, but a female have more of estrogen and a testosterone filled women has a far more advantage with other normal female. Listen to her voice, it even sounds like a man. She looks like a roided up female bodybuilder.

[@schibleh531]

Actually it is disadvantageous, it's called "performance enhancing drugs" because it enhances the fucking performance, therefore a natural man will struggle and probably be out matched by steroid user. Also what tests did you do on Cris to find out her testosterone levels? Besides the voice check and the fact she packs more muscle than you probably.

[@brandimichelle880]

God I love this woman she is actually a really good person inside and out much respect and she shows the strength a woman can take I can't help but love her and look up to her god bless u Cris Cyborg may you stay a UFC champ forever! 💪🙏🙏😁🐉🌹

[@BKJP1998]

It absolutely broke my heart seeing her cry. I've done some viscous weight with wrestling so I feel her pain. Stay humble Cris Cyborg you have a lifelong fan. God speed in your journey.

[@BKJP1998]

Go away troll as you are too stupid to even insult.

[@BKJP1998]

And you sound like a troll who has never put his heart into anything. Stay strong...behind the keyboard that is.

[@angrykoala6390]

Hugh Janus your right people have no idea

[@YourPointOfViewPodcast]

Me too I really like cyborg

[@lycangypsypriest3190]

BK Gatson yeah upset me to.

[@Ada_Isabella]

Whow, what a different perspective I've gained from watching this video. I am embarrassed to say that I have had COMPLETELY different opinion of Cris Cyborg which was based on...I don't even know what. There is a woman in here, a human being that is vulnerable and raw, that is strong and persistent, courageous, that doesn't give up. There are so many sides to Cris that I simply didn't know existed as what we see in the media is a very limited view of who she actually is. I am a fan now, I must say.

[@LynchByInch]

I respect you a lot

[@ashtonsmith6732]

Been waiting so long for the haters to see this documentry. Really eye opening to those guys

[@E-Tuning]

Same here, damn im out of words :o

[@Ada_Isabella]

You know, I honestly don't think it was hate. It was blind and uninformed judgment call. I wouldn't call it hate because that's too strong. But I am glad I watched this because I completely changed my mind about her so next time I will think more before I judge someone so harshly without any evidence.

[@amiriatuoro2305]

shit man u said how i was feeling, espesh the doping scandal, and to see how hard it is to cut weight, hell yeah if u didnt know any better youd think she was taking steroids, dang it!!! all along trying to cut weight, fully tearful man

[@DontNeedToKnow84]

Man. This is amazing dedication. I used to despise her. Now, I admire her. Huge respect to Cris.

[@aliezahjuarez5723]

DontNeedToKnow84 same for me

[@ultraextreme8228]

I don't get how anyone can despise a person they only know from t.v. Its so shallow. What was it you despised about her before this documentary made you less ignorant?

[@doreenlopez1652]

I liked her the first time I saw her. People keep saying she has a man’s voice, so does her mother. I believe she’s all woman.

[@TheSrklop79]

Damn she was born with muscles..i dont think she was on any gear in those high school pics. She seems to always carry alot of muscle.really good genetics

[@HallelujahSunday]

It really breaks my heart how much hate this she gets. What for? She works her ass off, trains 24/7, and is 100% passionate about what she does in life. She puts God first, her family, and then herself. Cristiane Justino is talented, beautiful, strong. Você é o meu heroí para sempre Cris! #Cyborgnation

[@jeaniegehri3586]

What she did for the Pygmy tribes was so generous of her. She helped put in a well for clean drinking water…She didn’t act in disgust in any way to their living conditions, she was absolutely wonderful…

[@andymoore6249]

I'm officially on Team CYBORG. To every one talking down on her looks : she's realer than 90 percent of those fake BITCHES. She's a warrior. She ain't trying to win no beauty contest!

[@danielantonius8439]

it was not even sad, but i almost drop my tears

[@tyshizal]

it is sad. its a disgrace weight cuts are dumb its literal torture

[@LynchByInch]

how is she banned if shes's thriving in the UFC right now??? lol what the fuck??? it's not 2012 dude

[@giardinobennaducci7380]

Dan And even if was that the case, best steroids will give an athlete a 10% advantage.. After 2 years off the gear that 10% completely disappears.. so your excuse to devalue cyborg it's not valid, so shut the fuck up and accept the fact that she is the best and can beat any mma fighter incluiding that bitch of ronda, that is a completely sore loser and a fraud, she only win's by arm bar, in a stand up fight, she is a joke and everyone notice that already when she got exposed when she fought with holly holm, and these are facts.

[@LynchByInch]

Dan It's a weight cutting steroid with anabolic properties, it is usually not used to bulk up in strength. Again Dan how is she banned?? you never replied.

[@kenny222]

Watching her make that weight is absolutely heart wrenching. There's no way someone should be made to go through that. I appreciate the commitment and dedication but that is truly disgusting.

[@MJKircher1221]

It's unbelievable what fighters have to go through to cut weight. I felt so bad for her when she was losing the last few pounds, it was heartbreaking. I guess that's part of the sacrifice in order to be the best and she's definitely one of the best, without question. An amazing woman to be sure.

[@louiswilliams984]

All they had to do was let her go to sleep once she got close to 140. She would’ve burned the calories in her sleep and made the weight. They pushed her way too long. She shouldn’t have to cut 26 pounds in three days. 😒

[@peacedude1176]

"I train 3 times a day, I'm not a cheater" Hard watching her cut weight. What a great woman. Champ!

[@htsoon3912]

Great documentary, Cyborg is the most exciting fighter to watch.

[@stylage]

Holy shit, that's brutal. I hope you don't have to continue making this useless "140lb" weight. 145 is bad enough.

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

She actually is fighting tonight 9/24 vs Lansberg at 140lbs!

[@stylage]

kcrone1 Yup, hopefully the last at that pointless and non existent weight class.

[@silke275]

dwdwdw

[@bohemianbum9829]

yeah its inexcusable even the nutritionist mentioned that she can't be the same fighter at that weight

[@wayneruddock324]

Tell me about it... That was really a emotional ride to get her to hit 140lbs. Jose Aldo went through a brutal weight cut as well in his UFC debut. This entire weight cut process is definitely a collaborative effort. Seeing her struggle to make 140lbs, tells me it would be damn near impossible to make 135lbs. UFC might as well make a weight division at 140/145lbs and build it with other female competitors who simply cannot make 135lbs.

[@MMAFightClub]

Cris Cyborg is the best female fighter in the world and UFC can't make another weight division for her?! WTF Dana? Much respect to Cyborg!

[@musangwanathan8776]

I feel bad finding this doc after her loss to nunes. Shes a beautiful person at heart. I got nothing but Respect..God bless her!

[@A-m-K]

5:25 Wanderlei Silva, Assueiro Silva, Pele Landi Jons, Murilo Rua, Rafael Cordeiro, Anderson Silva and of course coach Rudimar Fedrigo sitting in the front. What a picture, what a team. I would guess this is from 97-99, because Cordeiro was still competing and Shogun Rua of course still was a youngster and several years away from starting his MMA career.

[@kingstea1]

this documentary brought me to tears. i am tearful writing this now. this woman's dedication to her sport is gut wrenching. she deserves to have million dollar pay checks. and the brass at the UFC are ignorant to the fact they need a womans 145 pound division! Cyborg deserves it, the fans deserve it and the sport deserves it. i was so worried when i heard she had 25 pounds to cut in 5-6 days. i prayed for Chris all week that she would not get hurt. Chris u are a true champ and inspiration to all! not just for woman but for all. God bless you and your family. God speed Chris Justino.

[@robertjelly2678]

So true dude

Hahahahaha

[@Cletus23FTW]

Lockheart is easily one of the best nutritionist in the game

[@lour58]

now I understand why Ronda wants to fight her only at 135... she almost died making 140 so at 135 she will be weaker if can make it... much respect to cyborg and all fighters who cut crazy weight to fight. OSU

[@toughguy1486]

Ronda is running scared, no doubt .

[@isohappynow]

Lousey will only right Cyborg if she can weaken and force herto lose muscle mass. Rousey is tiresome.

[@Ridogg81]

Luis rivera Ronda’s scared of her and wants to avoid it. Look what holly and Amanda did to her. Imagine what cris would do . Much love to Cris!! ♥️♥️🌸🌸💟💟

[@alldayeveryday20able]

And Rondas natural weight is around 155, so her coward ass knows she and Cyborg could have fought at 155. That was just an excuse to dodge Cyborg

[@MJKircher1221]

It just wouldn't be worth it for her to try and make 135. I really hope she would never try to make that weight, she has absolutely nothing to prove to anyone, especially Rhonda.

[@MrTome1975]

I thought Cyborg´s voice was a result of steroids but if you hear her mom´s tone you will realize it´s genetics.

[@MrTome1975]

This is just one of those things that makes you feel great to be wrong.

[@LynchByInch]

Listen to Bethe Correa's voice, it's a Brazilian thing.

[@jonhernandez2951]

Cesalina Gracie also speaks like that. its a brazilian thing

man watching Chris do her weight cut is heartbreaking. i have a whole new respect for her. shes strong. shes my new hero

[@BigHeartedAzn07]

I thought cutting 4 lbs the night before a jiu jitsu competition was tough, this is a whole new and dangerous level, this is very inspiring, it hurts to see that kind of pain in her, she's a warrior, she doesn't mess around when it comes to making a living. Wish her the best tonight.

[@CodeMilian]

Incredible dedication! That weight cut was brutal. You are a true warrior and I hope all of your dreams come true.

[@kitbronson5693]

Actually gut wrenching watching the scenes of her cutting weight in the hotel... it's time the UFC had a women's featherweight division.

[@tstreetcontroversy]

I really love this woman passion and drive but come one #UFC HELP THIS WOMAN!

[@ashtonsmith6732]

Fuck off, Dan. I bet you were a mistake after one to many pizzas and beers.

[@xlifewritex]

Ashton Smith. If she has to use steroids to win, she shouldn't be fighting as simple as that.

[@ashtonsmith6732]

xlifewritex But she doesngt use steroids...

[@xlifewritex]

Ashton Smith Maybe not now but she tested positive for steroids after her fight with Gina Carano. She should have never been allowed to fight her. She had an advantage. Go to google type in "cyborg steroid gina" and see for yourself

[@TheNYgolfer]

Ducky1521 Dude you really think a woman looks like that without juicing? Do you really think it is fair to her opponents that play fair?

[@RantTherapist]

I had the wrong opinion of this woman because of her cage aggression and aggressive almost primate like fighting style, but now I feel bad, I have nothing but respect for this woman, she's a woman of faith and is one tough cookie. God bless you Cris and may he always shine his light on you. Humble people always have a special place in my heart. All the best.

[@DWORLD-ve9bs]

God bless you Cris. That last part was hard to watch; it made me cry. The results, however, were phenomenal. It makes my respect for you and what you do even greater. 😱💪🏽👌🖤

[@lalocamakeupjunkie8539]

Hit like if you cried when cyborg cried I cried with her she's amazing

[@GrowingDownUnder]

i'm a guy and I cried the 1st time I watched it...not ashamed either!

[@GrowingDownUnder]

this is a true fighter!

[@fiveowaf454]

I really had to admire her resolve to go through that, I couldn't help feel that getting punched in face would seem like a walk in the park after that slow torture. I have concerns about her health and likely steroid use, but still respect her self discipline, it would be easy to think I quit, I don't even want to fight. However I think it can be a dangerous thing when someone is driven that much in terms of what they will do to succeed that is unwise, I also see from others that it's really hard for such people to live normally once their time in sport is over. I wish her all the best and hope she can find the fulfillment she craves.

[@giardinobennaducci7380]

Dan Banned for 1 year, and yes in 2012 for stanozolol that it is used even by body builders to cut fat, and stop to agree with yourself on yours own coments, this only shows the type of person you are that likes to believes on your own true, you are delusionall

Many people are never caught for steroid and PED use, so you can't use whether people failed drug tests as an accurate guide as to whether they do or have. When many athletes fail drug tests that is because of a mistake made with their doping regimen and it not being out of their system when it was thought it would be. Look at Lance Armstrong as an example. I think she has taken steroids because of the changes in her facial features, but cannot be 100% certain, but at the same time would not rule out that she had, even if there had never been any failed tests.

[@renee5579]

Dalton, I know for a fact women can look like that naturally my sister is one of them! She can't wear cowboy boots because her calfs are too big, not long muscles more like a 10# shot puts. She would never wear short sleeves because she was embarrassed by what people would say. She was ripped, never lifted a weight in her life, built a lot like our dad. I'm a recent fan of Chris Cyborg and the gift that's been given her. What a wonder she is....I hated watching her cry......now I feel very protective of her...so watch your mouth Dalton you're believing a lie!

My whole bad opinion about Cyborg has changed after watching this video. All fighter's go thru pain as well too. sorry and wish you the best of luck.

[@Anahtar43]

Cyborg is such a positive personality, i have always the feeling she would help everyone around her.

[@geejohnson7715]

Wow pure dedication that weight cut got me tearing up the shit she goes through to get the weight. Hats off

[@jackortez4534]

oh Cris that little girl is with you for a reason . Its a blessing and you are a good lady God bless you

[@fortyfivealways]

Amazing documentary, loved it... Sad that the UFC isn't building a 145lbs division around her like they did Ronda at 135. They are missing out on a much bigger star! Hopefully they make a 145 division soon!

[@hankg6955]

I was like all the other piggish men, called her a dude, called her a drug cheat. This documentary has changed my mind about Cris Cyborg. She is a true warrior, respect. UFC! Stop trying to kill your fighters and have more weight classes! Cyborg should be in her own 150/155 weight class. Stop trying to make fights with all your stars, let them reign in their natural weight classes. Nobody wants to see a fat Ronda fight a emaciated Cyborg (or do we?...)

[@AlexB-bi5gf]

she's a beast all respect but she did just fail the drug test..

Depois que você vê todo o sacrifício que ela faz por amor ao esporte, você consegue entender porque ela entra na luta com tanta explosão... merece nosso respeito Cris! Desejo que Deus te abençoe grandemente em todos os teus caminhos!!! Em nome de Jesus!!! Me emocionei com um pouco de sua história...

Christiane Justino é sem dúvida tão grande que não cabe no UFC.

[@HUEnshiro_do_Norte]

Pena que não posso dar 100 likes. Mas o único que posso dar segura com carinho, fera. hehe...

[@d.oliveira7518]

Sem dúvida, Josue. Cris merece muito, muito respeito. Espero que não precise recorrer mais a esse corte brutal de peso, por riscos à saúde. Ela já tem o nome dela na história do esporte. É a maior lutadora de todos os tempos. Nunca teve medo de se testar, lembro de uma luta dela com uma polonesa no muay thai, muito maior que ela, com uma técnica de chutes impressionante, e a Cyborg, mesmo levando atraso, ia pra cima o tempo todo. Perdeu a luta e ganhou o meu respeito pra sempre. “Estou pronta para qualquer uma, eu nunca digo não”.

[@betoruzy1316]

The greatness of Cristiane Justino is certainly too big to fit in the UFC

[@reneeranney1555]

Your a special woman with a special soul. I'm so glad I found this documentary. Your the best always

[@Mike-yg8ig]

I'm not going to even try to express the amount of respect I have for this athlete. These UFC fighters deserve every fucking penny they get and more. Chris, you are an amazing human being.

[@markreilly2469]

Jesus the weight cutting was almost unbearable to watch

[@ezzy4515]

Yet Dana, doesn't give a fuck. This makes me hate him.

[@basharen1444]

It's because Cyborg abuses steroids lol. If you cyborg stopped taking steroids ''she'' will easiely hit the target weight.

[@ezzy4515]

Bas Haren I'm pretty sure she stopped after she got caught.

[@basharen1444]

***** Nah lol woman can't weight 170lb-180lb pure muscle mass that's men weight on steroids. I'm 6.1 at 185lbs there is no way ''she'' is 180lbs naturally as a woman. It's not possible. You are saying a fighter has more muscle then a natural bodybuilder? It's her own fault and I laugh at her trying to lose weight. She knows damn well she's a cheating bitch entering a competition as a 180lb MAN. She can just stop taking steroids and lose atleast 40lbs of muscle.

[@Fookyoo2]

She's already proven to be clean. just because you haven't seen a heavy woman of pure muscle doesn't mean they don't exist. Even Gabi Garcia is gigantic full of muscle mass and competes at openweight.

[@jezusghoti]

Cutting weight is barbaric.

[@tyshizal]

they have to get rid of it somehow

[@yasinpatel12345]

Same day weigh-ins

[@792bnz]

yasinpatel12345 same day weigh ins are crap. Fighters will still try and shed excess weight to get an advantage

[@yasinpatel12345]

only the stupid ones. There won't be 20+ lb cuts anymore with same day. Good luck doing that and performing 2 hours later. It literally will equalize everything

[@aryudsoh]

This made me an even bigger Cyborg fan. Glad that we got to see the more vulnerable side of her which we rarely get to see because we're used to her taking care of business in the cage. It's really tough to watch her suffering through that weight cut. She deserves to be a lot more famous and wealthy with her skills. The UFC should stop making her cut to 140. 145 is already so tough for her.

[@joanne5786]

That's a great documentary. I have a new found respect for Chris Cyborg.

[@Bbknuckles]

I feel like this doesn’t have the proper amount of views. The world needs to see this. Even non fight fans can/would appreciate the dedication of Cyborg. She’s truly one amazing machine!

Nothing but respect for Cyborg

[@lycangypsypriest3190]

R.J. .yeah.Respect

[@shmigely]

Jesus christ they need to just make a damn 155 division and be done with it

[@cosmokramer7396]

I agree with you, but that's easier said than done. How many females do yiu honestly think are out there that are as big or bigger than cyborg? and how many of those women do you think could actually make a competitive fight against her?

[@lainnyesty]

A lot. Do you know how many people there are in this world? Don't you think women her size would come out of the wood work? Ronda's Best friend is a 145er and there are a bunch. Just wait and see. Gina Carano was a 145er and the first real female MMA fighter. She paved the way for women's MMA. Sooooo the original women's weight class was.....145.

[@bricktop.]

she could fight that Gabi Garcia chick from Rizin....

[@yamabushiwarrior996]

Agreed, everyone keeps praising Ronda as the one who paved the way for womens MMA when in fact it was Gina. Ronda is cool but Gina was better to watch. People watch Ronda cuz they want to see her judo throw and transition into a lying arm bar. But she is a one trick pony. It was only a mattet of time before she ran into an excellent striker like Gina.

[@goddammitalana]

gabi garcia doesnt know how to fucking fight though.

You're an inspiration Cris! Good luck to you champ!

[@ashtonderoy6816]

I came here to spend time with Cyborg the fighter. Today I met Cyborg the suffering artist! I now see why they call them "mixed martial artists." Her training, her passion and her story is incredible and it is the exact reason I got so into this sport.

[@aj44379]

Always dogged Cyborg thinking she was the product of steroids and insane tenacity. Maybe she used them, maybe she didn't. But no one can deny the sacrifices she's made and how committed she is to the sport. I imagine many mma athletes endure these awful weight cuts, but for her it seems borderline barbaric. Used to hate this woman but she's won me over...

[@marcealadina8022]

You are a real warrior, Cris!! Your effort and dedication are amazing!!

[@jimmystewert1]

Blown away by Cris's commitment to her craft,the weight cutting is crazy and rather hard to watch. Good luck to her. 👊

[@isohappynow]

As a female, I observe so many feminine characteristics in Cyborg. In spite of her aggressiveness in the ring,she is very female. And a great athlete with a lot of heart.

[@christpower5402]

This is terrible. The weight is too light. She should fight at 155 and be stronger for the fight. Rousey is finished, it's a dream fight. Rhonda is rich and accomplished and the eye of the tiger is gone. Chris fight at 155 and be healthy. We love you and Jesus loves you. Amen.

[@tyshizal]

duh alot of ppl will be rousey now. her spirit is broken she is done as a fighter

[@Fookyoo2]

I don't think that's it. ronda has never been a great striker. jiu-jitsu is her area of expertise so unless she trains hard as a striker and becomes as strong on her feet as she is on the ground, she won't stand a chance

[@martinezbledsaw7195]

and that's the reason why she's been dodging her this long because she knows she would have got dominated before the Holly Holmes fight

I hope it doesn't make me any less of a man to admit I actually cried when she cried. Damn.

watching the weight cut was genuinely disturbing. Keep in mind that as bad as it is for men, for women it is even worse and could damage their reproductive system.

36:07.... THIS is the only way other females, including Ronda, have a chance at beating Cyborg..... When they drain her down to nothing and she's barely conscious..... If they grew some balls and fought her at 145, youd have to line up coffins.

[@tyshizal]

this is disgusting. they need to make another woman weight division. find a way to get rid of these ridiculous ass weight cuts. i hate it

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

I'm 5'8 ft tall exactly like Cris and fight Muay Thai. I'm normally 165 and not fat at all. Even with way less muscle mass than her, with all diet, linphatic draining, dehydration, beating 145 lbs is TOUGH for me. For Cris it is MUCH TOUGHER beating 145 lbs; 140 lbs IS TORTURING CRIS CYBORG AND OTHER BIGGER WOMEN. #OpenFemaleFeatherweighinUFC because most women aren't petit dolls with 4 on gloves.

[@Khorney]

...aaand she just got caught with a PED again.

[@LynchByInch]

Khorney wasn't steroids, it's actually very complicated you should wait till the final word is out on what's happening.

[@honeybsweetnectar1713]

I don't know know why she got alot of hate. Much respect to her

[@luizps1]

Simple: because she is a woman and she is incredibly skilled and strong. You can see that the majority of those who hater her are men, trying to diminish her because somehow she bothers them. Some men are so weak and insecure that they think they need to humiliate and doubt of women's competence when they are best of them. Pure dumbest sexism! Several man fighters were caught more that one time cheating and this not bother most of these patetic "men" who's hating her.

[@jeroenbats5955]

Luiz Paulo you are out of your mind. Lot of strong women in mma. I like them all But I dont like steroid using cheaters. Has absolutely nothing to with being a woman or whatever the fuck you are talking about
