The Weight List Megasode: George Lockhart talks Cris Cyborg's weight cut

Women's featherweight superstar, Cris Cyborg recently made her highly anticipated debut in the UFC after several years of negotiation with the brass, PR buildup and tons of hard work to make the biggest weight cut of her career to make the 140 lb catch weight limit set for her bout with Leslie Smith. The fight was a win for Cyborg, a vicious, first round TKO that left Smith looking battered and bruised after just 81 seconds of action. If Cyborg wasn't already a household name, she's well on her way now.

In the latest episode of the Three Amigos Podcast, a special Weight List megasode, George Lockhart details his work with Cyborg in getting her weight on point for this fight, as well as spending a fair amount of the episode discussing the science behind healthy weight cutting practices.
