UFC women's bantamweight Miesha "Cupcake" Tate may have opened up the pipeline to the Octagon for Cris "Cyborg" Justino.
Speaking at a recent fan Q&A session in Manila ahead of UFC Fight Night: Edgar vs. Faber this past weekend, Tate was asked about taking on the 13-1 Brazilian powerhouse.
That's my job. I have to fight anyone they put in front of me and obviously I'm not scared of anyone. So yes, I would [fight her at catchweight]. But I heard Cyborg is signed to fight at 135, so I would prefer to fight her in my weight class.
