Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino says UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie is scared to fight her.
On Friday, De Randamie’s manager, Brian Butler, told MMA Fighting that De Randamie refuses to defend her title against “Cyborg” because of her history with performance enhancing drugs.
Later that day, Justino responded and told MMA Fighting her thoughts on the champion.
“She’s running, scared to enter the Octagon with me,” Cyborg said. “That’s another one of her excuses to not enter the Octagon with me. That’s really not my problem, it’s the UFC’s (problem).
“And she’s also stating that USADA is not legit.”
De Randamie’s manager also said she would rather be stripped of her title than have to defend her championship against Justino. “Cyborg” then shared her thoughts on whether or not De Radamie should be stripped of the title.
“That decision is totally out of my reach,” Justino said. “I’m the world champion, undefeated for 10 years. With or without a belt. My fans follow Cris Cyborg. She’s the champion the UFC made. It’s their problem now.”
