This weekend, the most dominant female MMA fighter in mixed martial arts history, headlines a UFC event in her native Brazil.
All week, Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino is giving her fans inside access to her life. The Nação Cyborg (Cyborg Nation) series details her preparation for Saturday’s headlining fight with Lina Lansberg.
In episode 3, Cyborg visits a hospital for a health check before the start of her weight loss to 140lbs ahead of her UFC FN 95 Main Event. Then she prays are the beautiful Cathedral of Brasília, takes in the angles, and tries the whisper wall.
The sacred is followed by media duties, as she does a series of interviews, photo opportunities, and the faceoff.
An already gaunt Cyborg then does an evening workout in a sauna suit to start the weight drop. The rigors of dropping so much weight are already clear as her hands and feet look heavy, and not in a good way.
Her boyfriend Magical Ray Elbe summed it up.
“I think she’ll make 140, ” he said. “She’ll do it safe, or safe as you can. And Saturday’s fight is going to be amazing.”
Cris Cyborg fights Lina Lansberg in the main event of UFC Fight Night 95 on September 24, 2016 at Ginásio Nilson Nelson in Brasília, Brazil.
