Miesha Tate thinks she can be the one to overcome challenge of Cris Cyborg

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Many female fighters have been asked about the prospect of fighting Cris Cyborg. Not only does Miesha Tate say she would do it, she's thought quite a bit about it.

The UFC women's bantamweight champion said Monday at a media lunch that she'd be willing to fight Cyborg, even at a catchweight of 140 pounds. The idea of facing the Invicta FC 145-pound champion -- and arguably the baddest woman on the planet -- is very interesting to her.

"I think it would be really cool to fight Cyborg, honestly," Tate said.
