Miesha Tate Open to Catchweight Bout with Cris 'Cyborg' Justino

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.
