Cris Cyborg's nutritionist is confident he can get the women's MMA star down to 135 pounds. And he thinks he can do it by December.
George Lockhart told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that he believes Cyborg can make bantamweight within four to six months in a healthy manner, keeping her physical attributes intact. That would make a potential fight between Cyborg and Ronda Rousey at UFC 194 on Dec. 5 a possibility.
"If they want her to fight Dec. 5, it would be within the timeline," Lockhart said. "It would be close, but she could definitely make 135 before Dec. 5."
Lockhart said for the first time Cyborg's team actually asked him what he thought about her making 135 last week. Lockhart told them she could "absolutely" do it.
Lockhart said that not only could Cyborg get down to 135, he believes he can get her back up to her normal fighting weight of 168-170 pounds one day later without an IV.
"That's my goal," Lockhart said. "My goal is to make her better, faster, more explosive at 135. ... If anything, she's going to fight exactly the way she does at 145."
