Cris Cyborg is eager to get back inside the cage, but would understand if UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie isn’t ready to defend her title at UFC 214 from her own experiences.
Cyborg hasn’t fought since September, but was offered a January fight for the inaugural belt. The former Invicta FC champ was forced to turn it down, because she would not have been ready for the early 2017 date.
De Randamie was eventually slated to face former bantamweight titleholder Holly Holm, and won the title at UFC 208 in February with a decision victory.
