Miesha Tate on Germaine de Randamie not fighting Cris Cyborg: 'I don't think she's scared'

Shortly after winning the inaugural women's featherweight title in a controversial decision against Holly Holm at UFC 208, Germaine de Randamie announced that she was thinking of giving up the belt and returning to the bantamweight division.

One of the reasons, de Randamie claimed, was because she was not willing to fight 'known and proven cheater' Cris Cyborg, who tested positive for steroids in 2011 and flagged for a potential USADA violation earlier this year.

Last month, UFC granted de Randamie her wish and officially stripped 'The Iron Lady' of the featherweight title.
