Dear All,

It's been a while since I posted something. But because of the commotion that I have come to feel, I feel the need to hear something from me and to clear the air (as far as possible). It is absolutely not so that everything that is said makes me do nothing. Also, I am a human being and I also have feelings. Despite the fact that I'm always positive, the comments make me more than I had hoped. The positive but also the negative.

The fight between me and Chris Cyborg was offered to me last November. Even then, I had all my reservations but I accepted the fight. Chris Cyborg has rejected the fight because she could not get the weight of 66 kilos in twelve weeks time. One month later, she was visited by the USADA and did not pass the test. The rest of the story is known.

My reason for rejecting the fight now has nothing but nothing at all to do with my fear.

I believe that if you want to do sports you do this without any means that can affect the muscle mass. I - as a top athlete - always trained, always watched my food and put 18 years of my life on sports, without using just one means that is not allowed.

Everyone has his or her opinion on this and that may. But that people think to know what my motives are / do not put me in the cold clothes.

I work full time and irregularly, which takes a lot of time. In addition, there is still a lot of unclear about my hand. I have an appointment with the doctor on 14 June, and it will be decided whether or not to be operated. This option should also be considered for me because there is a great chance that my tendons / nerves can cause such damage that I could not use my hand more optimally.

During the negotiations on the battle with Holly Holm, I said in advance that after this fight I want to return to my natural weight class of 61 kilos. My task has not been completed yet

The UFC has promised me that this would be no problem and I can just return to my natural weight class.

This is why I am focusing on this moment.

When I fell in love with the martial arts 18 years ago, I had 1 goal. Share my great love with others who have the same love for martial arts as me !! This is my goal and will always remain my goal.

I want to thank everybody who has always stood before me and still support me through thick and thin !! You guys rock.

For all the haters; Two Baths !! "The IronLady" is far from done
 
I respect her for it.

Why should anyone give a cheater like Cyborg a chance? She's clearly been cheating for her entire career and should just be banned.
 
She doesn't realize it, but she's only damaging her own legacy.

2011 when Cyborg failed and stayed a year out. Other fighters have failed and returned after. This is how things work, regardless if you like Cyborg or not.
 
...what?

that was an awful lot of words to say virtually nothing.
 
Scrap the division, it's just dreadful. While all the other female division's improved, Featherweight stagnated.

There's like 2 or 3 decent Featherweights, all the others suck dick and have a .500 record.

Didn't she just fail this year or last year or some time recently?
 
I really hoped she'd write something that didn't come off as throwing us a bag of worthless, shitty excuses. Am disappoint.

edit: For fuck sake, just take the fight! Lose, go back to 135. It'll be the biggest payday you will ever have, I am dumbfounded as to why she isn't taking this fight. I don't believe she is refusing on principal because Cyborg pissed hot, I don't believe she is scared to get punched in the face.... I just.....don't know........fuck this shit.

Should Courtney Casey and Jessica Penne be banned too? They were just popped by USADA. Cyborg has never been popped by USADA. Or is there a double standard here? GDR needs to be stripped immediately.
 
She's fought at 135, as has Holly. They just need to do away with 145. Didn't they pretty much make the division for Cyborg? Cyborg should have never been brought to the UFC if she can't make 135. And the only reason she can't make 135 is because of her steroid built muscle.

She was given a retroactive TUE so no Cyborg didn't actually fail a test. Her only failed test was in 2012.
 
WMMA FW division was a mistake.
