Reinier de Ridder is ready to beat Brendan Allen and quickly turn around to fight Khamzat Chimaev for the UFC middleweight championship.
Over the course of the last twelve months, Reinier de Ridder has been incredibly busy. Ever since entering the middleweight division, he made it his mission to speedrun his way to the UFC middleweight championship – in a similar fashion to Alex Pereira. Now, as he prepares to face Brendan Allen on short notice next month, it certainly feels like he’s on the verge of getting that title shot.
Reinier de Ridder is a fascinating talent and against Robert Whittaker, he had to overcome some real adversity in order to pick up the win over a former world champion.
