Brendan Allen believes Reinier de Ridder didn’t want to continue fighting at UFC Vancouver.

While de Ridder was originally scheduled to fight Anthony Hernandez in the main event at UFC Vancouver, Allen stepped in on short notice after “Fluffy” was forced out with an injury. While de Ridder roped in the first round, Allen started imposing his will as the fight went on. De Ridder’s corner threw in the towel after the fourth round in an upset loss, as “The Dutch Knight” was barely able to get up from his stool.
