it was reported that ‘Cyborg’ weighed in at 165 pounds for her 140 pound catch-weight fight with Lina Lansberg. Now just 24 hours away from officially weighing-in, MMA insider Ariel Helwani reports that ‘Cyborg’ is currently weighing in at 150 pounds with ten more pounds left to shed.
Cris Cyborg weighs 150 pounds this AM, I’m told. Ten pounds, a little over 24 hours to go.

‘Cyborg’s opponent Lina ‘Elbow Princess’ Lansberg (6-1) is also a featherweight and has fought at 145 pounds since her MMA debut in 2012.
“I’m really upset about this, because the girl I’m fighting, she’s a 145 pounder,” Cyborg said. “She has to lose weight too. My team has seen her, she’s losing weight too, it’s really hard for her, because she’s a 145’er too, same as me. And I’m upset because I said I want to make 140 because I want big super fights. Give me top-10 girls at 135.”
