Reinier de Ridder Explains UFC Signing, Eyes Dricus Du Plessis, Israel Adesanya, Sean Strickland

[@mannyhart2311]

Really cool to see RDR get his shot. Really looking forward to the GM3 matchup.

[@haga7596]

Omg thought this was a troll comment he’s actually fighting gm3😂😂😂

[@toadjones7979]

If the hype is real, he should destroy poor ole GM3

[@puntsize]

@@toadjones7979 he was pretty hyped but Anatoly Malykhin destroyed him with ease multiple times. It'll be interesting to see how he hangs in the UFC. Back @ 185 is the right move for him. GM3 is the perfect kind of fight for him to showcase his skills as well.

[@maxandersson1146]

I wonder what C3PO & R2DT thinks about it.

[@a_ya5555]

GM3 is an upper tier grappler and is a dangerous fight for anyone, including De Ridder. He has the submission and finish record in ufc over people like anderson silva. Cope harder.

[@loadedfilmstokyo8380]

If de Ridder can get through Gerald unscathed, I'm definitely here for Izzy/de Ridder!

[@Theodore_ML]

After seeing his highlights. He's not getting far in the ufc. Unless he works on his gastank and becomes more aggressive.

[@royster7170]

Totally agree!

[@BrandonKMMA]

He's really not that good

[@sadatalam3687]

Great interview Mike! Good questions as always

[@shindavid6484]

I'm very happy for him, not a lot of guys escape the prison that is ONE and make it to the UFC.

[@Totesnumber1fan]

He left because he got both his belt taken by the same person

[@bubseyy89]

What do you mean by prison

[@RAWFestival]

​@@Totesnumber1fannot true. He left due to one FC not offering fights to their fighters lmao

[@Totesnumber1fan]

@@RAWFestival no as soon as he lost to him when he gave up he signed to another organization in a less than a week

[@a_ya5555]

One fc didn't want to give him any fights and didn't want to pay him.

[@MMAEventsVlog]

He also beat Aung La for both belts, unfortunately. Then started grappling as he lost both to Anatoly who's a small HW. For what it's worth. Him vs Paul Craig or Dolidze would work.

[@rpaul23455]

Malykhin pisses chemicals.

[@opmarlon]

He will make easy work of most of the middleweights. His grappling and Jiu-Jitsu is next level. The issue only comes when he is unable to takedown an opponent.. Then he is in big big trouble

[@matthysgrobler9615]

Im all for a fighter getting a chance because few do. Getting as ambitious as to "eye" DdP though might get you smoked quick as boom! Not to mention the rest of the 185 roster. Easy dude!

[@Ben-cl2co]

Finally a dutch guy in the higher end of the UFC again!

[@a_ya5555]

They've always been out there.

[@Ben-cl2co]

@@a_ya5555 Struve was the last one and that has been some time ago already.

[@a_ya5555]

@@Ben-cl2co DDP is of dutch descent. Gegard "The Dreamcatcher" Mousasi, The Dutch Knight Reinier De Ridder, etc. Struue(too bad he retired at 32. Semmy "Hightower" Schilt, Bas Rutten. etc. It's up to them to get top tier coaching and training partners to improve. Struve didn't have that like some ufc guys do.

[@HanginwithMikeC]

Looks like this dude lost 2 belts to one dude.. Why did not ufc sign the other guy???

[@saha5962]

The other guy is on the Ubereem diet Malykhin won’t pass usada test

[@Eyeofthetiger69]

​@@saha5962usada is no more. Chances are they just weren't interested in him or they didn't offer him enough money.

Hahahaaa exactly came here to say that but you beat me

[@a_ya5555]

GM3 is very good but it's very possible

[@SuacoRV]

Seems like a good match RDR vs Meerschaert. You dont see 2 ground game specialists fight each other in the UFC often.

[@marcalexander5594]

He’s a specialist I believe, real ugly striking, but deadly Bjj. I don’t know if guys like that can still reach the top, we’ll see.

[@caskstrength7629]

Reinier 🥊🇳🇱Succes!

[@Krezo200]

i dont understand he fought heavyweight in one and now 185 ?! he is way too tall for 185 or?

[@michiel5160]

One FC test for hydration, so they can't cut as much water and everyone is heavier there.

[@MariusvanDyk-q4n]

Don't see him steamrolling top 5 opponents the UFC, but you can dream there's nothing that you can't do if you couple it with hard work so.

Looks very like the ben askren signing. Very good grappler, with limited Stand up,and huge hype behind him.

[@saha5962]

Askren had a bad hip injury when he came in the ufc. De Ridder can still deliver the guy who he lost from was a roided undefeated beast.

Can beat anyone on the planet except for Malykhin 😂

[@ceesvanderschoot9799]

Did you see Malykin ….. everything he throws hurt like hell , it’s a freaking beast but your right , I’ve seen him win all except against Malykin , he just demolished him .

[@jokingbird]

@@ceesvanderschoot9799 I like de Ridder but it just sounds funny especially considering how their last fight went. As for Malykhin it's a shame he is not fighting in the UFC exceptional athlete for his size and if de Ridder couldn't get close to submitting him who does. I wish One would stop pretending and let go of their MMA fighters already so they can join other promotions that actually host MMA events. Competition is great and all but in combat sports sometimes it's such a hindrance to having the best guys fight each other and so far the likes of pfl and one only annoy me by overpaying fighters that could fight in the a leagues instead. Good for the future financial security of those fighters though

[@a_ya5555]

Malykhin built and hits like Fedor

[@paulietv2162]

This De Ridder guy is arrogant and a total narcissist - he will get a serious reality check in UFC

[@a_ya5555]

So he's like any afro american. Doubt he'll get a "reality check". Whatever the f that means

[@gogv1]

He will be a top 10 fighter at 185, but not top 3. Adesanya, ddp, khamzat all will beat him

[@JohnTerblanche-l1r]

Sean over khamzat. Khamzat still needs to beat Whitaker to show his metal. At middle weight Khamzat is not even yet ranked.

[@RH-fj5dl]

He will have a problem in the UFC. Goodluck to him. He is the new Ben Askren

[@a_ya5555]

No he won't

No future for wrestling and choking in UFC anymore as they are already investing in boxing maybe Muay thai next
