Throughout the course of the week leading up to ‘UFC Fight Night: Brasilia’ there has been much speculation as to whether or not Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg would be able to make her contracted weight of 140 pounds.<\/a><\/p>\n

Cyborg has been very transparent about the fact that she has been struggling to make the weight-cut. Throughout the course of the week, Cyborg has released several fight week vlogs<\/a> in which she has given fans an inside look at her troubles cutting weight. As the week has progressed, there has been more and more updates regarding Cyborg’s weight-cut leading up to her fight with Lisa Lansberg this Saturday.<\/p>\n

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

While there has been much doubt as to whether or not Cyborg will be able to make weight, a new report from Ariel Helwani which surfaced Thursday evening sheds some new light on the situation, revealing that Cyborg is now within 10 pounds of making weight. <\/p>\n

While the contracted weight for the fight is 140 pounds, Cyborg’s contract allows her to weigh-in 1 pound over 140 given that the fight is not a title fight.<\/p>\n

At this point, Cyborg's team appears confident she'll make weight tomorrow AM. She's less than 10 lbs away, with less than 24 hours to go.<\/p>\n
