It didn’t take long for Cris Cyborg to fire back at Germaine de Randamie’s team.
Moments after the UFC featherweight champion’s manager Brian Butler told MMA Fighting that de Randamie would refuse to fight Cyborg, a “known and proven cheater”, the Brazilian reacted.
"She’s running, scared to enter the Octagon with me,” Cyborg told MMA Fighting. "That’s another one of her excuses to not enter the Octagon with me. That’s really not my problem, it’s the UFC’s (problem).
"And she’s also stating that USADA is not legit."
A former champion in Strikeforce and Invicta FC, Cyborg tested positive for stanozolol in 2011, and was suspended by the California State Athletic Commission.
