Reinier de Ridder proved why he is the most dominant titleholder in One Championship at the moment.
In the One 159 headliner, de Ridder (16-0, 7-0 One) notched a defense of his 205-pound title as he overcame former divisional kingpin Vitaly Bigdash. The challenger started with a bang, cracking the champ with a heavy blow in the early going. “The Dutch Knight” recovered and moved the action against the fence, where his opponent quickly captured his neck. Bigdash (12-3, 5-3 One) opted to go for broke, attacking with a tight guillotine choke.
