Reinier de Ridder is confident he can stop anyone

Reinier de Ridder is scheduled to face the dangerous Dagestani-born fighter Shamil Abdulaev, who has earned multiple European and Russian championships in MMA. However, with an impressive 88% finish rate in professional competition, de Ridder is very confident he can finish anyone in the ONE circle.

In an interview with ONE, 'The Dutch Knight' explained:

"Everywhere I go, every gym I visit. If they don’t know what’s coming, I can get anybody in the world with this stuff ... I’m going to be brash. I’m going to say I’m going to choke you out. And then in the fight, that’s what I’m going to do.”

De Ridder added that it doesn't matter what weight or what fighter is in front of him, he can take them all. The Dutch athlete said:

“Put them in front of me. I’ll knock them out. I’ll choke them out. Anybody.”
