Cris Cyborg confident she can make 135 for Ronda Rousey title fight, but still wants 140 catchweight

Apparently, "Cyborg" doesn't care about the belt.

Invicta FC featherweight champ Cris "Cyborg" Justino may be under an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) contract, but the former Strikeforce titleholder has one more planned fight in the all women's organization before attempting to drop down to the bantamweight division in order to square off with Ronda Rousey.

The UFC champ has made it known she is more than willing to fight Cyborg, but only if the bout is contested at 135 pounds, which has proved to be an issue for the Brazilian before.

Making an appearance on UFC Tonight earlier this week, Cyborg made it seem she was confident she could make the bantamweight limit, only to backtrack minutes later when offered up the chance to make her case for a 140 pound catchweight.
