Reinier de Ridder is not impressed by Brendan Allen’s grappling game.
With a potential title opportunity on the line, ‘RDR’ goes into this Saturday’s UFC Vancouver headliner determined to make a statement. Originally, he was scheduled to square off with Anthony Hernandez, but after ‘Fluffy’ bowed out due to an injury, Allen stepped in.
Looking ahead to their high-stakes scrap in The Great White North, de Ridder offered his honest take on Allen’s mat work.
“Brendan’s boxing is very, very good, very crisp,” de Ridder told MMA Fighting.
