"Sounds good. All of them. Khamzat (Chimaev), and (Robert) Whittaker, yeah. Khamzat would be cool for a grapplers matchup. Whittaker would be cool for all that he's done. I hope they give me this. It would be amazing. I could be ready as soon as they are," de Ridder said. This highlights his ambition and willingness to take on the top fighters in his division, showcasing a competitive mindset.
