Germaine de Randamie: I fought a man, I can fight Holly Holm

Like Holly Holm, Germaine de Randamie holds a wealth of fighting experience prior to her entry into the UFC. At one point during her pre-MMA career, she fought a male boxer named Tom Waes in Europe in 2007.

De Randamie ended up winning the fight via right hook knockout, just moments after a brief exchange of punches. A clip of the fight had resurfaced online with just a few days left until UFC 208.

This accomplishment had rightfully given de Randamie the confidence as she goes up against fellow former boxer Holly Holm.
