Cris Cyborg has very much become the poster fighter for extreme weight cutting in mixed martial arts. Through little fault of her own, she has been a dominant fighter with few contenders her size.
Cyborg had to cut from around 170 pounds to fight at a 140-pound catchweight the lone two times she has competed in the UFC. The promotion has just opened up her 145-pound weight class, though its future is still very much in doubt with current champion Germaine de Randamie out of action.
On Tuesday, Cyborg was supposed to speak in front of the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) during its hearing regarding a 10-point weight-cutting reform plan in Anaheim.
