By way of Twitter, Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino's manager Tito Ortiz called Miesha Tate out asking for Tate to help he and Cyborg train for her next bout. Right now the current Invicta FC Featherweight champ doesn't have a fight scheduled but the invitation was still extended. Tat simply replied with "anytime." Not long before Tate's fight at UFC 168, Cyborg offered to help Tate train for Rousey via Twitter.
The two of them have the potential to form a Velasquez-Cormier type of partnership if the two of them could become allies. Both women are arguably top ten WMMA pound-for-pound fighters and would be a force to be reckoned with if they ever come together for training. It makes one wonder if Cyborg has found a way to cut down to 135 to eventually get at Rousey, despite Cyborg claiming that she medically couldn't do so. If we eventually got to see Cyborg in the UFC at 135 lbs we would be in for a treat.
