\n\u201cI have every intention of working with Cris Cyborg once her UFC contract is finalized. Right now we\u2019re circling the drain, we\u2019re waiting for the go ahead, but Cris she\u2019s been in vacation in Brazil. If she was here in the United States, she and I already would have been working together. So she\u2019ll be back, her contract will be signed hopefully soon, and as soon as she has a date and an opponent, then it\u2019s game on, I will be working with Cris Cyborg.”<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a couple ways to answer and the first way is going to be a little less than humble \u2013 I\u2019m the only guy in the world that can get Cris Cyborg on weight and healthy. I only say that because I have the history. I\u2019m only going to point to my resume when you look at Rampage (Jackson), Rampage was 260lbs when he came into the fight with Lyoto Machida. He came out there and made 205lbs easily and he beat Machida. Johny Hendricks is 215lbs, started working with me, he\u2019s beat (Jon) Fitch, (Josh) Koscheck and (Martin) Kampmann. Johny probably is the biggest welterweight in the UFC, and he\u2019s destined to be a world champion. Thiago Alves, Chael Sonnen was 233lbs six weeks before the Michael Bisping fight in Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody can say that any of my athletes ever look unhealthy or ever under perform as a result of their weight cut.\u201d
\nShe\u2019ll be 135lbs, it will be the healthiest she\u2019s been her entire career, and it will be the best performance of her entire career or I would not have taken the job. I can\u2019t risk having an athlete under perform as a result of a weight cut, I would never jeopardize an athlete\u2019s health. A lot of athletes come to me and they want me to help them drop a weight class or two, and I\u2019ve turned a lot of huge names down because it\u2019s just not safe, it\u2019s not healthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 135lbs, Cris Cyborg will be the best of her career. She will be the greatest female fighter in the world, she will achieve legendary status at 135lbs. At 145, she\u2019s too heavy, she\u2019s slower at 145. She\u2019ll be faster at 135, she\u2019ll be more reactive, more flexible, more mobile, and she\u2019ll be stronger. She\u2019ll produce more force per pound of her body weight than she can at 145, I guarantee it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCris Cyborg could be the world champion today. Whenever Cris fights for the title, she\u2019ll win the title. So if they want one fight or five fights, whoever she fights, she\u2019ll beat. Whether it\u2019s Ronda Rousey for the title, or it\u2019s Sara McMann or Miesha Tate, but there\u2019s a lot of tough girls, but whoever she fights, she\u2019ll beat.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In an interview with MMAWeekly.com<\/a>, Mike Dolce not only highlights his resume, but also gives his opinion about female fighter, Cris Cyborg.<\/p>\n
