Reinier de Ridder just picked up the biggest win of his career as he outlasted former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, winning a razor close split decision in the main event of UFC Abu Dhabi to move to 4-0 in the UFC. Did “RDR” put himself in position to fight the winner of Dricus du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 319?
Following Saturday’s Fight Night event, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee react to the card, de Ridder’s victory over Whittaker, if the right fighter won, and discuss where the former ONE champion goes from here. Additionally, they discuss Petr Yan’s win over Marcus McGhee, the bonus winners, Steven Nguyen breaking the UFC knockdowns record and Jason Herzog’s performance as the referee in that fight, and much more.
