For the better part of a week, Germaine de Randamie celebrated her victory over Holly Holm last Saturday at UFC 208, a unanimous decision in which she was crowned the first UFC women’s featherweight champion.
But there’s been a cloud hanging over her victory which simply won’t dissipate. Punches thrown and landed by de Randamie after the horn sounded to end both the second and third rounds of the fight at the Barclays Center, before referee Todd Anderson stepped in, have led to persistent allegations that de Randamie is a dirty fighter.
