Media De Ridder is calling out Strickland "you're up, buddy!"

[Unheralded Truth]

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?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

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

 

[Flower2dPeople]

You can't clinch and spam knees when your opponents just spam front kicks.

 

[Tweak896]

I kind of want it just to send Strickland down in rankings so he becomes active like he used to. Strickland will just follow the Colby gameplan and win one and sit around if not.

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.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Nice of RDR for taking out all the trash. He is going after America's least favorite fighters and I love it! Choke them all out I say

Yea, he probably can't.

But imagine if he did...

 

[Gabe]

Good call out. RDR is having quite the UFC career in a short time.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

How the fuck that dude make middleweight.

He 's like a fucking giant.

 

[burningspear]

RDR taking out all the assholes lol

 

[sanguinius]

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.

 

[Daniel Henry]

He should call out Robert Whittaker. At least they will enter cage same size

 

[Saku'sEar]

Clash of the kittens with little clinch slaps, gay ass front kicks and icarly defence. Ufc fuck yeah!!!!

 

[chillyoo]

RDR submits him. Strickland is not good, Izzy just lost it.

 

[Dorkman]

Can't see it happening. Strickland probably fighting Israel, or Whitaker next. Dolidze or Cannonier makes more sense for RDR.

 

[DougieJones]

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?

 

[Cheese_&_mma_lover]

RDR would absolutely maul Strickland.

 

[Evbo]

How the fuck that dude make middleweight.

It's the Dutch way, I think the shortest guy in their country is 6"3

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Strickland has good Tdd and he should be able to outstruck de ridder.

de ridder should take out dolidze who is ranked 8 for no reason. Easy money.
