Cris Cyborg is arguably the best female mixed martial artist who ever stepped inside the cage in recent years, but appears like being on top of the food chain can come with serious mental and physical challenges.
Ahead of her UFC debut in May, Cyborg had to cut down to 140-pound for a catchweight fight with Leslie Smith at UFC 198. Although, the fight appeared seamless in the cage for Cyborg, winning in under 81 seconds. But a new dramatic behind-the-scenes footage from an upcoming documentary shows just how difficult the process was for Cyborg to make it to the fight.
For a closer look at her weigh cut struggles, check out the video preview above.
