5 Things you did not know about Germaine de Randamie

#3 She has a personal success mantra!

She believes in the philosophy- ‘Die with memories, not with dreams’

After her crushing defeat in her very first MMA match, de Randamie's mother told her, ‘Hey girl, no matter what you want, anything’s possible. You just have to go for it and give it your all'.

Germaine modified this philosophy into her own mantra- ‘Die with memories, not dreams’. This is a phrase she has repeatedly said in her interviews, and even uses time and again on social media posts and updates. It is the mantra that guides her into the Octagon, inspiring the best performances, despite the eventual outcome.
