He said in the post-fight interview that he got the best American wrestler here, so now he wants to try the best American striker too.

What do you say about the call out? De Ridder's dutch K1 knees and clinching against the short straights from Sean, a good fight to make?
 
It's a smart call out, a very beatable former champ with some name value. Probably the quickest way to move into the top 5 if you're RDR.

Who wouldn't want to skip past the Cannoneirs and Vettoris of the division if all they have to do is call Sean out publicly

I don't think RDR can goon strickland on his feet. Strickland will move around and jab/front-kick all night. Wrestling wise I don't think RDR is fast enough to shoot from the outside. He needs to get into the clinch to get a takedown. He is going to eat jabs trying to go in.

RDR vs Fluffy would be fun. They would both try to drown each other.

Yea, he probably can't.

But imagine if he did...
 
That's a damn good fight. I'd say that Strickland would have a big advantage, but Dricus' strange, wacky striking worked against him twice. Maybe RDR can have the same energy. Either way, it would be a great fight for both.
 
He should call out Robert Whittaker. At least they will enter cage same size
 
Clash of the kittens with little clinch slaps, gay ass front kicks and icarly defence. Ufc fuck yeah!!!!
 
I would not throw RDR in against anyone close to the top-5 yet...

Can he at least beat someone ranked 10 - 15 before that happens?
