Cyborg VS Nunes: What Is The Hold Up?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEn0D_eHpRs

The frustration the woman's UFC Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg has been brewing towards the UFC's Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes as there is still no official date for them to fight. Cris Cyborg is arguing that Amanda is delaying the fight and is questioning why should they wait until December when Cyborg is pushing for September 9th. There is a tug of war with the dates but why delay one of the biggest fights of the year? She has also stated that she is willing to take another fight leading up to December 29th because she is the Champion of her division. Dana White has even said this is absolutely the fight to make

On the other hand with the UFC's first openly gay Champion Amanda Nunes, it is being said that she is waiting for Cris Cyborg to sign the contract but is still pushing for that December 29th date. Though it would be ideal to close out the year with such a big fight, Cyborg does want to fight a few more times this year that is one of the reasons she wants to fight sooner than later.

Since defeating Miesha Tate in 2016 for the woman's UFC Bantamweight Championship, Amanda has successfully defended her crown 3 times including the destruction of Ronda Rousey. She also defended the belt against top contender Valentina Shevchenko and Raquel Pennington being her most recent defense at UFC 224. Amanda has proven herself to be one of the most dominant women in the UFC as she has destroyed everyone who has tried to take her belt aside from Valentina Shevchenko being her toughest and closest fight.

Easily Amanda's biggest test to date would be Christiane Justino (Cris Cyborg) for the Featherweight Championship as they are both absolute killers inside the octagon. Since entering the UFC in 2016 Cyborg has dismantled and broken down every female that the UFC has put in front of her. As she captured the gold in the division that was built for her the UFC's Featherweight Champion is looking to prove why she is the best in the world and in the UFC.

Cris Cyborg won her title at UFC 214 by defeating Tonya Evinger for the vacant belt after Germaine De Randamie refused to fight her. Since winning her Featherweight crown, she has defended her belt twice defending it against Holly Holms and Yana Kunitskaya. She defeated Holly Holms by Unanimous Decision at UFC in a hard-fought battle. She viciously tore apart Yana at UFC 222 to successfully defend her belt for the 2nd time after winning by TKO in the 1st round.

Hopefully before the year closes out, the sooner the better. When does this fight happen not only would a belt be on the line which would more than likely be Cyborgs, but the title for the best Brazilian Female Fighter in the world would be determined when bother of these dominant figures in Woman's Mix Martial Arts eventually clash, in Rio, Brazil maybe?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
