#WMMA Champion @CrisCyborg training hard @Invictafc @ufc @theug

I have to admit, Cris Cyborg is looking in serious shape!

last night she was training at Tito Ortiz’s gym with myself and Robert Emerson.  Cyborg has had an entire team of trainers including Top Boxing coach Jason Parillo, American Muay Thai standout Bryce Krause, BJJ legend Cobrinha, Wrestling guru Jacob Harman helping her for this upcoming bout. She is 2 weeks out from her fight against Top 10 ranked Charmaine Tweet when she defends her world Title at Invicta 11, and starting to peak.

With Charmaine Tweet being 6’1 in height  and having a ‘long muay thai’ style of striking combined with her aggressive  triangle attacks from an overhook guard, I’ve made for a perfect situational sparring partner and scout.  Emerson has really done a great job organizing most of the cardio conditioning and nutritional coaching along with George Lockhart of Atlanta.

Here is a short clip capturing the end of a two hour training session.  The core movement of this exercise are very realistic to fight training, and simulate the movements of the specific sport.  I feel confident saying, Cyborg is going to be slamming Charmaine, probably several times.
