Former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight champion Reinier de Ridder burst onto the UFC scene in November when he submitted Gerald Meerschaert in the third round of his promotional debut.
It was as good a start to a UFC career as de Ridder could’ve hoped for. Going into the fight, the 34-year-old said that winning wasn’t enough; he needed to stop the UFC veteran inside the distance to solidify himself as a serious threat at 185 pounds.
