Filed under: Featured , News , UFC , Videos Newly minted UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie believes she will undergo surgery on her hand but is waiting on the opinion of a doctor before she makes her final decision. “The doctor told me it’s something I can’t avoid,” de Randamie said during a media teleconference arranged by the UFC. “I don’t want to have permanent damage, so that’s something I want to figure out, if I have to do it now or I can do it at a later stage.” De Randamie (8-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) appeared to put the new division on pause immediately after she outpointed Holly Holm (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) at last Saturday’s UFC 208 , announcing she would take time off to address her hand. But today, she put the decision on medical professionals to decide whether she can fight again in the near future. Related: Speed Bag: UFC champ Germaine de Randamie's plans?
