Germaine de Randamie Facts

1. During her impeccable kickboxing career where she had accumulated a 46-0 win-loss record, Germaine had won numerous titles such as the WPKL European Championship (2003), the IMTF World Championship (2005), the WIKBA World Championship (2005, 2006, 2008), the WPKL World Championship (2006), and the IKCC World Championship (2008).
2. She had once knocked out a man named Tom Waes, in a pro boxing match. He was 40 lbs heavier than her.
3. In February 2017, she had defeated former bantamweight champion, Holly Holm, at UFC 208, via unanimous decision, to win the inaugural UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship. The match was shrouded in controversy, however, as Germaine had continued to throw punches, at the end of the 2nd and 3rd rounds, even after the horn had sounded. The referee had not taken a point on either occasion which in turn had affected the result of the fight and had drawn criticism from several fans. 14 out of the 23 major MMA media outlets had even scored the bout in favor of Holly.
4. In late May 2017, she had released a statement on social media that she was planning to move back to the bantamweight division and had rejected the fight with Cris Cyborg due to the latter’s repeated transgressions with performance-enhancing drugs. Her decision had drawn criticism from many quarters and she was eventually stripped of her UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship title, on June 19, 2017.
5. As of September 2021, she had jointly held, with Ronda Rousey, the record for the fastest knockout (16 seconds) in UFC Women’s Bantamweight division.
6. In parallel with her career in kickboxing and mixed martial arts, she has worked as a police officer in the Netherlands. Before joining the police force, she had worked as a psychiatric nurse.
