It appears that being UFC champion isn’t always worth the trouble. Especially not if that trouble comes in the form Cristiane Justino, better known as Cris Cyborg. Germaine de Randamie won the inagural UFC women’s featherweight title back in February with a decision over Holly Holm. Since then, the only question on anyone’s lips has been: When will GDR fight Cyborg?
The answer looks more and more like: Never.
Trouble started brewing last week, when De Randamie’s manager told MMA Fighting that the champion would “never” face “known and proven cheater” Cris Cyborg.
