Michael Bisping on Cris Cyborg: ‘The reality is she’s just too big for that weight’

TORRANCE, Calif. — Michael Bisping doesn't train with Cris Cyborg directly. They don't get in the ring and spar, nor do they talk all that often.

But Bisping and Cyborg do train at the same gym, RVCA in Costa Mesa, Calif. And they share the same boxing coach in Jason Parillo.

Bisping said Cyborg's weight cut has been a bit of a hot topic at RVCA in the last few weeks, much like it has been a controversial storyline this week in Brazil as she attempts to make 140 pounds.

Cyborg walks around at nearly 170 pounds.
