Holly Holm Addresses Cyborg’s Situation With USADA

Holly Holm recently addressed the situation with Cris “Cyborg” Justino’s possible failed drug test (via MMAjunkie) and what it would take for a potential fight with them to happen. Holly Holm is set to face Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural women’s featherweight title at UFC 208 next weekend. Below are some highlights.

Holm’s thoughts on Cyborg’s situation: “I’m just going to wait and see what happens with that (USADA situation). There has to be a lot that happens for that fight to happen. She’s got to deal with whatever is going on with USADA. Who knows what’s really happening with that? Obviously something.”

Holm on a potential fight with Cyborg: “In order to even think about that potential fight, I have to get through this fight. When I first signed with the UFC, I had two fights, one fight being Raquel Pennington and then Marion Reneau. In both of those fights, people kept asking me, ‘How long do you think until you fight Ronda?’ I said, ‘Well I have these fights in front of me first, so I have to get through them.’ I know Cris ‘Cyborg’ is definitely the big name for the 145-pound division, but right now with this situation she has going on, I think I’ll just let that pan out. Who knows what’s really going on? I don’t want to put all my eggs in one basket. I don’t want my career to be defined over one fighter. I still have so much to do. I’ve got Germaine de Randamie right in front of me. If I don’t get by her, there probably won’t even be talk of a Cris ‘Cyborg’ fight.”
