The UFC has signed former two-division ONE world champion Reinier de Ridder.
First announced via the UFC Roster Tracker account on X, de Ridder’s signing has been confirmed by multiple outlets, including both MMA Junkie and MMA Fighting. According to the reports, ‘The Dutch Knight’ has signed a multi-fight deal with the organization, though the promotion has not formally announced the signing.
De Ridder, 34, previously held both the ONE middleweight and light heavyweight world championships. He fought nine times for the promotion, going 9-2 with losses coming via back-to-back defeats against Russian star Anatoly Malykhin.
