Cyborg 'always knew' De Randamie didn't want to fight her, glad for a 'real' 145 fight

Cris Cyborg won't have to wait around anymore to fight for the UFC featherweight belt. After former champion Germaine de Randamie was stripped of her belt by the UFC, Cris will now take on Invicta FC champion Megan Anderson.

A switch that, as Cyborg told Combate, makes her happier than the original fight.

"We knew she never wanted to fight me. There was some people in her camp that warned me about it, they said she wasn't going to fight me. I wanted to close the fight as soon as possible.
