du Plessis and de Ridder

[Robbocop]

Reinier de Ridder

Dricus du Plessis

These two fighters have cool names that share a similar structure and at the same time they are both enjoying success in the UFC, of course Dricus has had massive success, and Reinier is coming up.

Can anyone comment on these style of names? If they fight each other we'll have: du Plessis vs de Ridder.

 

[CrimsonFan]

I would love to see it. I think RDR just became my favorite fighter in the division. He blessed us mma fans

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

RDR VS DDP on PPV (& GSP)

 

[Why did you]

Both use prepositions:
-"du" in du Plessis is French for "of the", often implying noble lineage (e.g., du Pont, du Maurier).
-"de" in de Ridder is Dutch for "of" or "from", often seen in surnames tied to origin or status.

Meaningful surnames:
Du Plessis likely means "from the place with a fence or enclosure" (from old French plessis).
De Ridder literally means “the knight” in Dutch, which adds a heroic or chivalric tone.

Both are European-sounding and evocative, suggesting heritage and depth. They carry an air of storybook rivalry: The Knight vs The Nobleman.

 

[BangBang]

He'll never be as slick as Usman, but well done to him.

Oh, and de Randamie

Having two letters between your names is the best base for MMA.

Why the dubs?

 

[MMAFanCal]

They both trained together. RDR trained with both Khamzat and Dricus. He said, Dricus is very tough and strong. He is very tough to take down and does not stop coming at you.

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

De Ridder means 'The Knight'

 

[Why did you]

Why the dubs?

I've created a thread about a movie , but the name of the movie did not go well with the forum guardians and i was rewarded with yellow cards

 

[Weighinin]

De Ridder means 'The Knight'

and Du Plessis is the family name of "The Three Musketeers" archenemy, the Cardinal de Richelieu (100% French name, not Dutch)

If Gilbert Burns can do it, why wouldn't they lol?

Gilbert and Usman have no necks lol, these two boys have long necks, easily choked out.
