Germaine de Randamie focused on return to 135 pounds after winning featherweight title

Germaine de Randamie became the first ever UFC women’s featherweight champion with a win over Holly Holm in February but from the look of things it doesn’t appear she’ll ever defend the title.

Just recently through a message relayed by her manager, de Randamie explained why she was refusing to fight top ranked women’s featherweight contender Cris “Cyborg” Justino, but now she’s gone even further in her own statement.

De Randamie took to Instagram (via MMAJunkie) to explain her reasons for not facing Cyborg, which all boils down to accusations about performance enhancing drug use.
