'I owe it to Holly': De Randamie's 'crystal clear' message for Holm

New UFC women's featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie hasn't shut up shop after her controversial win on the weekend.

Criticism of de Randamie about throwing late blows at the end of the second and third rounds of her title fight Saturday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn with Holly Holm has prompted her to take to Facebook to offer Holm a rematch to quell the controversy.

De Randamie won a unanimous decision, 48-47 on all three cards, to claim the newly created women’s featherweight belt. But had referee Todd Anderson taken a point for either of the two low blows, the fight would have been a draw.

The late blows were the topic of much debate in the MMA media the day after. Yahoo Sports put much of the blame on Anderson. MMA junkie columnist Ben Fowlkes noted that de Randamie was “the one who gave us the most significant action in her clash with Holly Holm, at times bending the rules to get there … ”

Chuck Mindenhall of MMA Fighting wrote, “Perhaps the lasting memory of Saturday night will be Holly Holm getting socked not once but twice after the horn. The referee, Todd Anderson, was late to the scene both times — at the end of the second round, and at the end of the third. Germaine de Randamie, who afterwards kind of just admitted she was caught up in the moment, got away with landing her biggest shots of the fight during the ceasefire periods. Inexplicably, there were no point deductions.”

Holm also expressed irritation at the post-fight news conference, saying she’d lost respect for de Randamie.

All of that was enough for de Randamie to explain her actions in a post on Facebook shared by her management firm, Sucker Punch Entertainment.

"Woke up yesterday to a lot of support and a lot of controversy. I should be on the highest of highs right now but after my long flight home to Holland I couldn't stop thinking about the events that took place last night and some of the critics trying to take away what should be one of the greatest moments of my career," she wrote.

"I want to say that it was a heated battle with lots of emotion but I AM NOT a dirty fighter. I have always trained to fight to the end or until the referee steps in. Never did I punch around or over the referee to deliver a cheap shot on Holly. I have nothing but respect for Holly and the UFC, and because of that I want to say right now that I think I owe it to Holly and the fans to do this fight again to make sure that the winner of this historic belt is crystal clear. Holly let's do this again. Much respect."

UFC president Dana White, who was unhappy with the card in general, felt a point should have been taken. But in a post-fight interview with Megan Olivi, White didn’t sound enthused about a rematch.

“If the ref takes a point for hitting after the bell, it’s a draw, the only possible way this night could be any worse,” White told Olivi.

He said that he expects Cris “Cyborg” Justino to be next, but she has issues with USADA, so until those are worked out, anything is possible.
