Cris Cyborg's Nutritionist Says Fight with Rousey at 135 lbs Possible for Dec. 5

Word has been spreading that the UFC is making inquiries regarding the long-awaited superfight between Ronda Rousey and Cris "Cyborg" Justino. With that in mind, Justino's nutritionist, George Lockhart, appeared on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour to field questions regarding her potential weight cut down to 135 pounds.

When asked, flat out, if he believed Cyborg could get down to the bantamweight division's weight limit, he quickly answered, "Yes, we can." That, on its own, is a big deal given how many have questioned whether or not Cyborg (who made a name for herself by physically overwhelming all competition at 145 pounds) would even be capable of cutting down that far.
