HILARIOUS: Cris Cyborg Fails Multiple Attempts While Attempting The Watermelon Challenge

Cris Cyborg attempts to complete Ben Askren’s watermelon challenge.

Cris Cyborg is currently in South Africa on a community outreach mission. While helping to rebuild the community, she found some free time to try her hand at the challenge.

Around 4 years ago, UFC welterweight champion Ben Askren posted a video in social media in which he attempted to break open a watermelon using his body. A shirtless Askren grabbed the two watermelons and hugged them against his body, and both the watermelons split open.

Cris Cyborg, dressed in sweats on the roof of her stay in South Africa, gave this challenge a try. But unfortunately, she couldn’t seem to crack open the watermelon. She wrapped her arms around the fruit and squeezed as hard as she could a couple of times, but was unable to get the task completed.

Speaking to the camera, she said, “What do you think about when you hug this thing? I always think about ‘If I can’t do it, I’m going to show how much I hate… Askren, no way, no way you opened this thing with a hug.

“I have to see with my eyes. You cut my thing. I don’t know where, but you did.”

She was clearly frustrated when she didn’t get the desired outcome. In a huff, she took the two watermelons and sent it flying off the balcony. It splattered all over the ground, causing security to come out and investigate what was happening.

Cyborg is currently in South Africa to help rebuild the poor areas as a part of her community outreach. And in this video, she is helping clean Alexandra, a poor urban area in South Africa.

So, Cris Cyborg couldn’t complete the challenge. Why don’t you guys try your hand at it and see how easy or difficult it actually is?
