This fight could go anyway since the possibilities are just limitless and so it would be a moot point to talk about all the “what ifs” of this match up. Holly Holm ( 10 – 2 ) will take on Germaine de Randamie ( 6 – 3 ) come UFC fight night 208 in the featherweight division. The purpose that this fight was initially intended to serve was that it was supposed to either be a predecessor to a blockbuster rematch between Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey or it would result in the emergence of a worthy challenger for Cris “Cyborg” Justino who has not really had anyone actually stand up to her and give stiff competition since Gina Carano back in the year 2009.
However, we all know what happened with Ronda Rousey recently and we also know that Cyborg failed a drug test and is now pretty much a sitting duck waiting to be slapped with a suspension – which we believe will be a one year ban. Rousey, on the other hand was humbled by Amanda Nunes in a matter of seconds during UFC fight night 207 which has left a big question mark about Rousey’s career – when will she fight? or will she ever fight again? Your guess is as good as ours in this matter!
Irrespective of what purpose the Holm Vs. Randamie fight was supposed to serve, we cannot deny that it is going to be an excellent fight and the highlight of the night.
