UFC featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie recently revealed that she is interested in leaving the featherweight division for a return to the 135 pound class. Now, Frankie Edgar has come forward with his thoughts on the matter.
In a recent media scrum, as transcribed by Bloody Elbow, the former UFC lightweight champion explained that he believes “The Iron Lady” is fearful of former Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.
“It’s fear. USADA is in place now. For me, I would fight whether they’re doing steroids or not. I’m a fighter and that’s why I signed up to do this sport. I guess she had different plans though.”
“That’s crazy to me. She just doesn’t want to fight Cyborg. That’s what it comes down to. At ‘35, she’s not getting easy fights there either. If I was her, I would at least fight in one more title fight. You never know, you may not get a chance to do that again.”
