Reinier de Ridder’s short run in the UFC has been quite impressive, especially with whom he beat in his most recent outing.
In July at UFC on ABC 9, de Ridder, a former ONE Championship two-division titleholder, picked up arguably the biggest win of his career, defeating former UFC middleweight champ Robert Whittaker. The two went toe-to-toe and got in wild grappling exchanges over the course of 25 minutes. In the end, after a competitive, and hard-fought bout, the Dutchman was rendered the winner by split decision.
You can watch de Ridder’s big win over Whittaker in the video above.
De Ridder (21-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) returns to the cage Saturday in the UFC Fight Night 262 (ESPN+) main event at Rogers Arena in Vancouver against Brendan Allen (25-7 MMA, 13-4 UFC), who replaced an injured Anthony Hernandez on short notice.
