Cristiane Justino is taking another step toward a superfight with UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey.

A massive featherweight, "Cyborg" will be cutting down to 140 pounds for a catchweight bout at Invicta FC 15 in November, the promotion's president, Shannon Knapp, announced following Saturday's Invicta FC 14 card.

No opponent has been announced.

Justino remains the lone threat to Rousey's title of Baddest Woman on the Planet, but a bout between the two won't be possible until the Invicta FC 145-pound champion proves she can cut down to 135.

A catchweight bout between Rousey and Justino remains a possibility, but both Rousey and UFC president Dana White have been adamant that Justino make the brutal cut down to bantamweight.
