Germaine de Randamie<\/a> has said that if she loses to Amanda Nunes for a third time, she will retire from mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

“The Iron Lady” returned to winning ways this past weekend as she submitted Julianna Pena to earn a Performance of the Night bonus. It was her first time back in the Octagon since her rematch with Amanda Nunes at UFC 245 which, unfortunately for her, she lost via unanimous decision – giving “The Lioness” a 2-0 advantage in their series following a TKO triumph back in November 2013.<\/p>\n

The bout saw the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship being put on the line, and in a recent interview with MMA Fighting<\/a>, de Randamie made a bold claim if she was to ever fight Nunes again – regardless of whether it’s at bantamweight or featherweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I get another shot at Amanda and she beats me, I\u2019ll retire right then and there on the spot,” de Randamie said. “I will forever stay second best. If she beats me again, I will retire on the spot. There would be nothing left to do. She\u2019s the only one that beat me fair and square. No problem, she\u2019s the true champion. If the third time I can\u2019t beat her, it is what it is.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she beats me, I will retire with my head held high,” de Randamie added. “I\u2019m second best. She\u2019s the best, but I still believe I can beat her. Every piece of me tells me I can beat her, and I have the utmost respect for the champ. But if she beats me again, that will be the end of my MMA career. I\u2019ve done it all. I\u2019ve seen it all. That just means I can\u2019t beat her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like she will end my career, but for what will I have to fight for then,\u201d de Randamie asked. \u201cWould I go back and fight four more times to get another shot at the title? No, I\u2019m 36 years old. I want to have a family. I want to have a baby one day. I don\u2019t know if I can go back and fight 10 more girls again to get to the champ. She\u2019s the champ. Then I didn\u2019t beat her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a 10-times, undefeated kickboxing champion, I was the first 145-pound champ, it just means I couldn\u2019t get the 135-pound belt. And that\u2019s okay. I\u2019ve had a beautiful career. There\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of. Nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
