More known for her kickboxing prowess, Germain ‘The Iron Lady’ de Randamie (2-1) is set to return to mixed martial arts this Saturday against Canadian fighter Julia Budd in a 145 lb women’s bout. Fans can watch their bout this Friday on this Friday’s Strikeforce Challengers 16 card in Kent, Washington.
De Randamie notes that the move up to 145 lbs is only temporary and hopes to move back to 135 lbs for her next fight since the Strikeforce women’s welterweight division is the more active of the two. Her last MMA victory was last January at the Strikeforce – Diaz vs. Cyborg event where she earned a first round knockout win over Stephanie Webber.
