Since UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey apparently won’t meet her at any other weight, Cristiane Justino said she’s making the drop from 145 pounds to 135 in hopes for a December fight. “Cyborg” made the announcement via a prepared statement on Friday’s edition of “ Inside MMA ” on AXS TV. The statement followed recent comments by UFC President Dana White that criticized Justino as a user of performance-enhancing drugs (she flunked a test in 2011 due to an anabolic steroid). However, Justino, Invicta FC’s reigning featherweight titleholder, said she planned to add the organization’s bantamweight strap to her collection before moving to 135 pounds and retiring Rousey “like I did Gina Carano ,” who quit fighting in 2009 after a title loss to “Cyborg.” In fact, Justino (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) said she’s open to a winner-takes-all bout – or they can even fight for free
