bjpenndotcom - June 3, 2017

The ongoing saga of figuring out UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie’s next move has continued to be a rather surprising one. After winning the inaugural women’s featherweight championship by defeating Holly Holm earlier this year, Germaine de Randamie looked all but ready to defend the title against the presumptive #1 contender Cris Cyborg after Cyborg was cleared by USADA for a potential anti-doping violation. When Cyborg was indeed cleared by USADA, GDR revealed that she had no intentions of fighting the former Invicta FC women’s featherweight champ. While many believed the UFC would be able to book a fight between GDR and Cyborg, the champ revealed that she would be likely moving back down to 135, rather than fight Cris Cyborg, who she dubbed a “proven cheater”.
