\"Cyborg\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cris Cyborg is the Invicta FC featherweight champion. Ronda Rousey is the UFC bantamweight champion. 10 pounds. That’s all that is keeping the fight from happening.<\/p>\n

Cyborg is preparing to defend her title again, then it’s expected that she will seriously work on dropping a weight class in order to challenge Rousey. Insert well-known nutritionist George Lockhart. He is currently working with Rafael dos Anjos and Beneil Dariush and has worked with female MMA fighters in the past.<\/p>\n

Lockhart spoke to MMAMania<\/a> about working with Cyborg:<\/p>\n

“I’ve been working with female fighters for a while now. I actually started when I was in the Marine Corps. One of the first fighters I had, she fought at an XFC event. It was definitely educational. I work with Sijara Eubanks and DeAnna Bennett in Invicta. I’ve been working with them for a while. Their bodies are so different. It’s funny because there’s a lot of women that miss weight because people don’t understand — they try to attack everything the same exact way that you would a man and they’re completely different.”

\n“I just told them this is exactly how I’m going to do it and this is exactly how it’s going to go down. I stick with the science, just facts and not theories. Initially, there wasn’t any hesitation. She’s always been awesome, she’s such a sweetheart.”<\/em><\/p>\n
