Without fighting since October 2020, Germain de Randamie will not be seen in the UFC Octagon anytime soon. This time, however, the absence of the former featherweight champion (up to 65,7kg) has a noble reason. This Tuesday (20), the 36-year-old Dutch woman announced that she is pregnant with her first child.

The announcement was made by the Dutch woman through a post on the social network. The Dutch woman posed alongside her girlfriend Samantha and the couple's dog, celebrated her pregnancy and revealed that the baby is expected to be born in March 2023.

“We can finally scream from the bottom of our lungs. WE ARE PREGNANT. We were blessed with our little miracle,” de Randamie captioned the photo.

A decorated striking athlete, with an undefeated record of 46 victories and a collection of titles in professional kickboxing, Germain de Randamie became the inaugural UFC women's featherweight champion in 2017, defeating Holly holm. The Dutch woman was later stripped of the title for refusing to defend it against the Brazilian Chris Cyborg.

the last appearance of Germain de Randamie in the Ultimate octagon took place in October 2020, when he finished Julianna Pena in Abu Dhabi.
