The UFC opponents de Randamie defeated had a combined 29-17 record (Anna Elmose, Larissa Pachecho and Julie Kedzie). On one hand, de Randamie is right, Cyborg has failed drug tests in the past. kept away from title shots, but this feels more egregious because of the contrasting star levels between de Randamie and Cyborg. If we're being honest, the UFC needs Cyborg as champion to legitimize the 145-pound division, much like it needed Ronda Rousey for 135 pounds. If de Randamie follows through and tries to go back to 135 pounds, White will have to do one or the other.
