News UFC signs former double ONE champ Reinier de Ridder

[Hellowhosthat]

Great signing imo. Former two division champion in ONE who only lost when Chatri did a hit job on him with a big juicy Russian who was his worst stylistic matchup imaginable.

Been added as a middleweight too so seems he thinks he can make 185 in the UFC.

Great grappler, not the best striker but good trips and fantastic and aggressive top BJJ with finishes.

Looking forward to his debut

Perfect example of why weightclasses exist. Wasn't he hospitalized with brain swelling after the first Malykhin fight?

Would like to see him fight Paul Craig.

Probably it was a pretty bad beatdown

 

[PrideNverDies]

This is the guy who said he would beat Izzy and Alex easily lmfao

Well give him credit for coming over to try.

 

[humdizzle]

i think Reindeer Rider will do ok in the UFC

 

[GiganticMeat]

Very nice. Much sooner than expected, if even

MW is so spicy!

Is Rofolfo Vieira booked?

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Fuck it give him Shara Bullet

Also, to be fair to ONE, Malaykhin looked notably smaller in their second bout, contested at MW instead of LHW like their first bout. Passed the sniff test at least. Pretty good fight too

If we're all picking debut fights the I say Andre Muniz.

It was still ONE MW, Anatoly isn't making 185 in a million years

I still can't believe he took the Malykhin rematch after the beatdown in the first fight. That was one of the most lopsided beatings I've ever seen.

 

[The Blue Bird]

Hopefully he does good

 

[flektarn]

Never seen this before. New fighters for MW is always good tho. A lot of people in that division are falling off.

Came in to say this. this is the fight I'd make too. Good signing!

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Pretty good signing, really good grappler but his striking is not good. He probably has a lot of trouble with guys who have real good TDD and can srike.

When he was scheduled to fight him again I thought "wow what a badass for signing up to get in there with him again"

but then in the 2nd fight you could see how apprehensive he was in there

Good signing. Should be one of those guys who get top 10 opponents from the beginning.
