Ex-UFC champ Germaine de Randamie completes hand surgery with ‘no complications’
After months of deliberation, former UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie finally underwent hand surgery on Tuesday. From all indications, it was a success.
De Randamie (7-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) was forced to withdraw from a scheduled UFC Fight Night 115 matchup with Marion Reneau, which took place this past weekend in her native Netherlands, due to the lingering problems with her right hand.
“The Iron Lady” said earlier this year that the issue has bothered her for the past several fights, but she did her best to avoid surgery. She finally went under the knife, and the ex-champ provided an update for her fans (via Instagram):
Just had my surgery. Everything went well no complications!! Thank you so much for the great care #DrFeitz #xpertclinic
time to let my body heal and come back stronger, faster and more motivated than ever before. Thank you to my family, my love, friends, team and all who supported me☺️
De Randamie has not competed since UFC 208 in February, when she earned a unanimous-decision victory over Holly Holm to win the inaugural UFC women’s 145-pound belt. Officials attempted to set up a first title defense against Cris Cyborg at UFC 214 in July. However, de Randamie didn’t accept the fight, and as a result, she was stripped of the title.
A timeline for de Randamie’s return to the octagon following surgery was not revealed.
