Whether they be public or something that you promise yourself, opening up a new calendar is always an excuse to change something about your life. To say that Cris Cyborg has had a roller coaster relationship with the UFC, would be an understatement. However, she&#8217;s determined to move into 2018 by putting the past behind her. That includes her grievances with the organization and Dana White himself.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The result of this [good relationship] is persistence, not giving up even in the face of adversity. Everything changed, I&#8217;m very happy that they put me in the main event. It shows to my fans that even when it&#8217;s difficult, we have to be persistent. [The treatment] It&#8217;s getting better, it&#8217;s getting better. From the moment that he admitted to having made mistakes, from that moment on, I dropped the negative emotions that I had. Now, let&#8217;s work together.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To beat the champ you have to take the belt.

If she can successfully defend it against the very game Holly Holm tomorrow, she&#8217;ll remain the most dominant female fighter on the planet. She&#8217;ll then set her eyes on granting Megan Anderson the shot at the belt that she missed out on due to a visa issue at UFC 214. Regardless of who comes out on top this Saturday, all eyes will be on their next move after the ball drops.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>on 12\/29\/2017.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New Year is approaching and it is the time for resolutions.
