Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino tilläts den extra vikten i mötet mot Lina Länsberg

Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino tog sig senast an Lina Länsberg, en match som ”Cyborg” tog hem via TKO i andra ronden. Bilder dök dock upp från invägningarna efter deras möte där det såg ut som att Justino ska ha vägt över viktgränsen för deras match, men enligt ”Cyborgs” dietist George Lockhart så ska det ha varit helt i sin ordning.

Detta hade han att säga via ”The MMA Hour”:

From my understanding with the commission, that was allowed. God’s honest truth, man, I’m going to get you down like any UFC fighter I work with knows, they are going to be 146 on the dot, 156 on the dot and I am not going to make you cut anymore weight that is absolutely necessary. That’s exactly what we needed so that’s exactly what we got her down to.

That was up to the commission, I believe. I think you get a variable in there and a lot of people don’t know this, when you step on the scales a digital scale, especially in the US, it only goes by .5. So if you are 171.2, it rounds down to 171. If you are 171.3 then it rounds up. A lot of people don’t know that.

Atletiska kommissionen i Brasilien (CABMMA) har även de gjort ett uttalande gällande hela händelsen, och detta hade de att säga via ”MMAJunkie”:

CABMMA states and reafirms that all athletes made weight, except Michel Prazeres, who was 2 pounds over the limit of his division, as officially announced on September 23rd.

Regarding Cris Cyborg, any variation/oscillation of the digital scale due to factors such as stage set, minor body movements, and clothing worn by the athlete, did not affect the reading and/or her limit to the determined catchweight, therefore fulfilling her contractual agreement with (the) promoter and commission’s license for the bout. The same protocol was applied to all 26 athletes for that event, including her opponent, Lina Lansberg.

Final statement on the matter.

Här kan ni se hur vågen såg ut under invägningarna:
