UFC issues statement regarding Germaine de Randamie

[Wild]

UFC has informed Germaine de Randamie and her management team that she is being removed as the women's featherweight champion due to her unwillingness to fight the No. 1 ranked contender, Cris 'Cyborg' Justino.

UFC maintains that any champion is expected to accept fights against the top contenders in their respective weight classes in order to maintain the integrity of the sport.

'Cyborg' gets title fight; de Randamie stripped

What the fuck is this shit?

Bisping, Aldo, barao, are just to name a few. Let alone others. They all refused fights against team mates or some shit and bisping won't fight anyone.



This is the biggest shit show I've ever seen. Makes me sick. The UFC is gonna be gone within 2 years

Ehh thats fine. Explanation is flawed, if not hilarious. But honestly, do you all really care that GDR is getting stripped? Shoulda been DQ'ed anyway

I don't but that explanation is hilarious and her finding out thru social media seems to be typical for how the UFC does business, which is ridiculous.

Wow that sucks.

Nice Av

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

Getting striped of the title is better than the beating she had coming her way from Cyborg. We all knew who the real champ is anyway.

Exactly... Yoel Romero and countless others would likely disagree

 

[Yossarian]

Well, it is in their right to do so. But be consistent, and do it proper, not over social media. Other's have spoken out against fighting opponents that are proven cheaters (Bisping, Hunto, etc).
