UFC middleweight contender Reinier de Ridder has spoken openly about his physical condition after his UFC Vancouver defeat at the hands of Brendan Allen.
As we know, Reinier de Ridder was on a fantastic run of form heading into his main event encounter with Brendan Allen. While many acknowledged that Allen had a chance of pulling off the upset, RDR was the clear favorite. In the end, though, Allen forced de Ridder to retire on the stool, in what served as a pretty surprising result in the Great White North.
Reinier de Ridder was quick to note some of the injuries and health problems that he had been dealing with, but that didn’t stop the masses from calling him a quitter as a result of him opting against continuing to fight.
