3. Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino
Recently, UFC women’s featherweight champion, Germaine De Randamie, proclaimed that she will not defend her title against Cyborg. GDR’s team issued the following statement on the matter:
“Germaine and her team have talked, and the position is that she will not fight Cyborg because Cyborg is a known and proven cheater. 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.
“For that reason, 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.”
It’s possible Cyborg’s legacy will forever be tainted due to her past PED usage. If future contenders continue to avoid fighting her, the effect will only be greater.
