Reinier de Ridder - how far will he go?

[wufabufa]

Those last two losses in ONE were pretty bad. Serious and permanent damage done most likely. Similar trajectory as Bullet. Give him favorable matchups and enjoy the show.

i don't know, to me he's a bigger Jack Hermansson. i don't know why everyone is surprised GM3 duped him on the feet. RDR is just a sub grappler. he was like this even in OneFC.

Top 10 if not, top 15 but not top 5

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Shart saved by the bell. He was cooked at the end of round 1.

RDR vs Shara bullet. Good pure striker vs pure grappler matchup.

 

[H41ph_84k3d]

Versus Pereira is obviously the fight to make.

 

[Tweak896]

I think he can be top 5 with the right opponents. His opponent was a bad matchup for him and he pulled off the win. I'm assuming that if he fights guys with worse grappling he won't have to strike and his striking is okay to hang with the guys who are.

 

[CobraCobretti]

If you have to fight to a tooth and nail against GM3, I think that tells where the limit is. It was a fun fight tho.

He lives in Breda.

RDR debuted this weekend and subbed GM3 in the third round.

Online fans are trashing him, mma media is questioning his striking defense. Seems like the consensus is he won't be a top fighter in the ufc.

Your thoughts?

More far then One Championship who wanted to ruin his life.

He reminds me of Jon Olav Einemo. I know he's got a lot more MMA experience, but I think he's gonna run into a wall soon in the UFC.

He did not well in UFC unfortunately but that life when you get in to UFC after five years of inactivity

 

[SamuraiBro]

He’ll sloppily make his way to the top 10 maybe 5 and then get chinned devastatingly multiple times.

 

[World eater]

We should not judge a guy based on his first performance in the UFC. He might do great after all. That said, he did not look great.

He actually didn’t do too bad

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Striking is terrible, but it's impressive he was able to submit him.

 

[TITS]

You guys are acting like he was fighting a bum. GM3 has always had some pop behind his punches. The Riddler flashed KO'd him in round 1, he'll be fine. I say match him up with Vettori, Craig, Hermansson, or Muniz. Keep him away from guys like Nasordine and Cannonier for the time being.

 

[Adamant]

He was really impressive. Best Judo i have seen in the UFC. more aesthetic than Karo IMO.

And in his debut he taps out the best submission grappler in UFC middleweight history.

hope they match him up with Khamzat soon

I doubt Reinier is going to get a title shot THAT soon.

Didn't realize I want to see Borz vs RDR till now.

 

[omawho402]

Top 10 optimistically. Never touch gold, title shot, or number one contender match.

He's fun, glad he's here. Wouldn't mind him proving me wrong at all.
