Germaine de Randamie has finally broken her silence. However, the UFC women’s featherweight champion has not given much in the way of answers – and likely has created even more questions about her future.
Whether that means the UFC is planning to strip her title or rid the organization of the fledgling 145-pound class all together remains to be seen, but de Randamie said her “focus” going forward is to fight in the division where she’s not currently champion.
“There is still a lot of unclear about my hand,” de Randamie wrote. “I have an appointment with the doctor on June 14, and it will be decided whether or not to be operated. This option should also be considered for me because there is a great chance that my tendons (and) nerves can cause such damage that I could not use my hand more optimally.
“During the negotiations on the battle with Holly Holm, I said in advance that after this fight I want to return to my natural weight class of (135 pounds). My task has not been completed yet. The UFC has promised me that this would be no problem and I can just return to my natural weight class. This is why I am focusing on this moment.”
