Jason Parillo, Justino’s boxing coach, believes that an impressive showing by Justino against Leslie Smith at UFC 198 might plant the seed for a 145-pound division in the Las Vegas-based promotion. The May 14 bout between “Cyborg” and Smith will be at 140-pound catch-weight, however, and even that cut could prove difficult for the Brazilian knockout artist.

“Our biggest opponent I think is the scale,” Parillo said during an appearance on the Sherdog Radio Network’s "TJ and the Tooth” show. “When the crowd sees that energy that Cris brings into the cage and the ability to finish the fight at any given moment, it’s so exciting to watch. I’m hoping it’ll open doors to the idea of a 145-pound division.

Honestly, I don't ever see this gal making 135.

She will be like McMachinist Conor at 145.

“Our biggest opponent I think is the scale,”

Way to respect your opponent. Doesn't matter, since Smith is travelling to Brazil and will happily take a percentage of Cyborg's purse if she doesn't make weight. Cyborg knows the fight will go on regardless of whether the weight is made or not and she will outweigh Smith by 20lbs in the cage.
 
Just do what Joe Rogan said to do and cut it off.
 
Oh shit, she's training with Parillo?

Cyborg definitely stands no chance against Leslie now.
 
The thing is if she does ever make 135, she will be do exhausted and drained from it all, she will probably have very little energy in the fight. We won't see the real Cyborg. She already said loads of times thats its a huge struggle to make 145 and hurts, so imagine another 10 Ibs?!. doesn't make sense to do it.

I don't think they should say that, because it does sound disrespectful, but tbh it is true. For what I've seen, Leslie will be destroyed.
 
Would be pretty embarrassing if Cyborg miss weight, when she get special treatment.
 
This 140 bs is absolutely ridiculous. UFC is having here risk her life/brain damage because Ronda and Dana trashed her mercilessly, created the 135 lb division to hide from the Borg and made the issue of 140, knowing that Cyborg even struggles to get to 145, so that UFC could save face. Take away the IV and this is just cruel. Just make the 145 lb division already - Ronda no longer needs to be protected and half the 135 pound division fought at 145 before the UFC started making them risk their life cutting weight or never have a platform to show their skills. The option of 145 should atleast be on the table with IV's being banned.

These fighters will do anything to provide for their family. If UFC made the cut off limit for HW at 190, you know half the HW division would try making the cut. UFC claims to be for fighter safety but their actions constantly prove other wise.

She could just lose 5 lbs, that is an option too

Another KO win for the sauna in the making?
 
Yeah, agree with BigDaddyBach. There have been enough MMA related deaths lately, including one from weight cutting. Do we want her to have kidney stones and intestinal blockage like Hendricks? RIP Yang Jiang Bing.

She wants to have her cake and eat it too. She wants to be as big as possible for her fight. If she would do less weight training and was 160 or so then 135 would be attainable, but she wants to be huge so she's 175 and only cuts water weight and 140 is a gigantic challenge

Pure non sense. She and her nutritionist said he could get to 135lbs in 2015
