Filed under: AXS TV Fights , Featured Videos , News , Videos Former Bellator women’s strawweight champion Zoila Frausto said a botched weight cut tapped into her central nervous system and ravaged her body prior to and during a bid for the vacant RFA 115-pound title. “Take the lesson from me ladies & gentlemen, cutting more than 10 (percent) of your body weight for a fight, though it doesn’t seem like much at the time, you will ending up paying for it, if not during, then after the fight,” Frausto (12-5), who dropped a unanimous decision to now-champ Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger (6-1), wrote on Instagram . “Don’t tap into your central nervous system for a weight cut!!!” In the co-main event of this past Friday’s RFA 31 at Downtown Las Vegas Events Center in Nevada, Lybarger dominated Frausto, a former muay Thai and boxing titleholder, in a largely standup fight, pitching a shutout on the judges’ scorecards for the title win (watch the highlights above). Frausto, whose fight this past weekend was her first in MMA following a two-year layoff, is the latest pro MMA fighter to detail a botched weight cut. Earlier this month, ex-UFC welterweight champ Johny Hendricks was forced to withdraw from a UFC 192 co-headliner against Tyron Woodley when he was hospitalized due to a kidney stone while trying to make the 171-pound limit
