Reinier de Ridder plans move to 205 pounds after consecutive UFC defeats
"I came up a little short. I think it could have gone either way but I'm happy that I got my body back most importantly. I was able to go three hard rounds. I think I have a lot more to show."
"I brought you guys doughnuts because I need you guys heavy, I need you guys strong because I'm coming at 205 [pounds], baby."
Reinier de Ridder, a former ONE Championship two-division champion, lost to Caio Borralho via unanimous decision at UFC 326 in Las Vegas. This marks his second consecutive Octagon loss, ending his initial four-fight winning streak at middleweight. De Ridder acknowledged the close nature of the fight and expressed satisfaction with his physical condition and ability to complete three hard rounds. He announced plans to compete at light heavyweight (205 pounds) moving forward, a weight class he has experience with from his ONE Championship career, where he previously fought as high as heavyweight.
