Former Invicta FC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg has had a very long, and tumultuous journey with the UFC. After finally being signed to the promotion<\/a> last year, Cyborg competed at catchweight twice, before then being suspended by USADA for taking a pill to help her rehydrate. After being cleared of all wrongdoing<\/a> by USADA, the stars finally aligned for the WMMA veteran to fight for the vacant women’s featherweight title.<\/p>\n

After Cyborg’s title fight was announced UFC President Dana White publicly stated that the UFC had made some mistakes<\/a> in regards to how they handled Cyborg’s fights, and that they owed it to her to get her a title fight.<\/p>\n

\"Cris<\/p>\n

Ahead of that fight this Saturday, Cyborg spoke at the UFC 214 open workouts to discuss the situation, as well as her future contract situation with the promotion:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really nice when someone does a mistake and then say that. A lot of people never say anything. I respect that. I think I can forgive him, but there\u2019s a lot of consequences. There are a lot of things people say about me on the Internet, a lot of bad things I don\u2019t want to remember now. But it\u2019s hard to clean everything. But in time it\u2019s going to change. He says he wants to change and work together. Let\u2019s see. I\u2019ll give it a chance and see how it\u2019s going to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI forgive him, but I think there\u2019s a lot of consequences that are going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know,\u201d Justino said. \u201cI want to work together. Let\u2019s see how it\u2019s going to work. I think we\u2019ll keep talking, and I think maybe after this fight (we will sign a new contract).\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Cris<\/p>\n

Tune in to UFC 214 Saturday night to see whether Cyborg will finally be able to capture UFC gold.<\/p>\n
