Former UFC title challenger Cat Zingano has reacted to UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie saying she wants to leave the 145-pound division.
“Well (expletive)…,” Zingano said in a tweet regarding De Randamie returning to the bantamweight division.
Zingano has been campaigning for a fight against Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino with hopes of becoming the UFC women’s featherweight champion.
Last week, De Randamie’s manager said during an interview that De Randamie was refusing to defend her title against Justino. She did not want to fight “Cyborg” because of her past use of performance-enhancing drugs. De Randamie said she would rather be stripped of the title than have to fight Justino.
With De Randamie saying she wants to go back to the bantamweight division, all signs point to De Randamie losing her UFC championship.
If Zingano can get her wish of a fight against Justino, that fight could be to crown the next UFC women’s featherweight champion.
Well shiiiiiit… https://t.co/2w0EYWLC1e
