Germaine de Randamie has no intentiion of facing Cyborg Justino, even if it means that her title is stripped from her. De Randamie’s manager Brian Butler told MMAjunkie that Justino’s history of failed drug tests had led the women’s featherweight champion to decide she won’t face the top contender.

“Germaine and her team have talked, and the position is that she will not fight ‘Cyborg’ because ‘Cyborg’ is a known and proven cheater,” Butler said. “Even after so much scrutiny has been put on ‘Cyborg,’ she still managed to pop for something and will always be a person of suspicion who is trying to beat the system rather than just conforming to the rules.”

He added, “Germaine and her team don’t believe that ‘Cyborg’ should be allowed to compete in the UFC at all. If that is the only fight the UFC wants, then Germaine is willing to wait and see if the UFC will strip her belt before making her next move.”
