Reinier de Ridder blitzes through Kevin Holland with dominant rear naked choke win – UFC 311 Highlights

In his sophomore Octagon outing, Dutch grappling star, Reinier de Ridder can count it two wins in two — making extremely light work of perennial contender, Kevin Holland in their main card opener at UFC 311 in Inglewood.

de Ridder, a former two-weight ONE Championship gold holder, made his long-anticipated UFC bow back in November, submitting fellow Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu ace, Gerald Meerschaert with an eventual third round arm-triangle choke submission.
