Germaine De Randamie has a chance to join an elite group at UFC 245
Natasha Hooper - December 13, 2019
UFC 245 takes place on Saturday December 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. On the main card, Germaine De Randamie will take on the two-division champion Amanda Nunes. Her opponent is riding a 9-fight win streak and has defended her belt four times. Whilst the risks for De Randamie are great, the rewards are arguably much greater. The Dutch fighter fought and lost to Amanda Nunes in 2013. “The Lioness” relied on her signature punching power to seal the victory in the first round. De Randamie hasn’t lost a fight since their 2013 showdown. If she can vindicate her performance and defeat Nunes for the first time, De Randamie will become the 8th fighter in UFC history to hold belts in two divisions.
