Morning Report: Cris Cyborg says she is 'close' to being done with trying to make the cut to 140 pounds

Later this month, Cris Cyborg takes on Lina Lansberg in the main event of UFC Fight Night 95, but it won't be to defend her 145-pound world title. That's because the UFC doesn't have a women's 145-pound division and, according to Dana White, they won't be implementing one. Instead, she will be competing in a 140-pound catchweight bout, her second such fight with the promotion. It may be her last though because Cyborg says she is close to no longer being able to make the weight cut.

Speaking with FightHubTV, Cyborg discussed the difficulty she has in making the 140-pound catchweight limit and how much longer she will be able to do it.
