Challenge accepted! Cris Cyborg welcomes Miesha Tate fight at 140-pound catchweight

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Earlier this year, top Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight contender Miesha Tate said she was willing to go places division champion Ronda Rousey wasn't, like 140 pounds, if it means securing a high-profile catchweight bout against reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane Justino.

The Brazilian caught wind of that request and according to her manager, George Prajin, "Cyborg" will gladly take that fight to determine how she will perform after shedding some skin, having spent her entire combat sports career at 145 pounds and higher.
