In this week’s Trading Shots, did the new UFC women’s featherweight champ get off on the wrong foot by not leaping at the suggestion of a fight with the division’s most dominant fighter? Or is it hypocritical of fans to criticize a fighter for choosing surgery over a fight against an opponent with a tainted past? Danny Downes and Ben Fowlkes discuss. Fowlkes: Let me set the scene for you, Danny. Germaine de Randamie has just been crowned the inaugural UFC women’s featherweight champion at UFC 208. She’s standing in the cage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., trying to ignore the dude who’s cursing at her during her post-fight interview, and she hears the name Cristiane Justino – as in, you know, “Cyborg” – tossed out as a likely first challenger.
