Reinier de Ridder is coming to “break” Brendan Allen.
Originally, ‘RDR’ was scheduled to square off with Anthony Hernandez at UFC Vancouver on October 18. Unfortunately, ‘Fluffy’ was forced to bow out of the bout due to an injury. As a result, the Dutchman will now face Allen in the newly minted main event.
Since making his Octagon debut late last year, de Ridder has been riding a string of impressive victories, including a highlight-reel knockout against Bo Nickal and a gritty split-decision win over ex-middleweight champion Robert Whittaker.
