Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino captured the Invicta FC featherweight title in a four-round domination over Marloes Coenen last July, and shes looking to return to the cage in January 2014. The opponent and the weight class are yet to be determined.

"This is the last fight in my contract with Invicta FC, and they asked me if I can fight in January," Justino told MMAFighting.com. "I dont know who Im fighting next, but Im fighting in January.

"They asked me if I would accept a fight at 155 pounds, and I said I would. I just want to fight. At 145 or 155, Ill fight whoever they give me. But I dont know if Ill defend the title in my next fight."

Invicta FC has never done a lightweight bout in their previous six events, and the seventh show, planned for Dec. 7, includes only one featherweight clash -- and again, zero lightweight contests.

Featherweights Julia Budd and Charmaine Tweet are both coming off three stoppage victories, but "Cyborg" believes its unlikely that she puts her title on the line against the winner of that bout.

"I dont think Ill fight the winner of this bout because theyre fighting in December, so I dont believe the winner would be ready to fight me in January," she said. "Who knows? It might happen, but I think its unlikely."

Justinos three-fight deal with Invicta FC ends in her next bout, and shes willing to sign a new deal with the promotion.

"This is the last fight of my contract, but Im really happy at Invicta FC, and I believe Ill sign a new deal," she said. "I like them, and theres simply no other place to go. UFC has womens division, but they dont have my weight class. I believe Ill sign a new deal with Invicta FC after this fight."

Signing a new contract with Invicta FC doesnt mean "Cyborg" forgot the idea of fighting UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, though.

"I really wanted to fight Ronda Rousey in a catchweight bout, but UFC doesnt want to do this fight," she said. "It wouldnt be interesting to them because I would go there, beat the crap out of her and return to Invicta. It would be bad for the UFC and they know that, and thats why they dont want this fight."
