middleweight Reinier de Ridder arrived in a big way in the co-main event of UFC Des Moines last night, and he did so by defeating Bo Nickal in a vicious manner.
Ever since entering the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Reinier de Ridder has been a problem for the rest of the middleweight division. That was especially true when he battled Bo Nickal in a fight that, for many, served as the first major test for Nickal since he arrived in the promotion. Unfortunately for the American, he fell short in a big way.
Alas, that doesn’t take anything away from Reinier de Ridder, who goes in there every time with the intention to finish the fight.
