Reinier de Ridder[1] (born September 7, 1990) is a Dutch mixed martial artist who competes in the Middleweight division of ONE Championship. He is the current ONE Light Heavyweight World Champion and ONE Middleweight World Champion.[2]
Mixed martial arts career[]
Reinier started training in judo since the age of 5. He then made his grappling game even more potent with Brazilian-Jiu Jitsu as an adult, and has competed extensively on the mats throughout Europe since then, winning numerous medals along the way. De Ridder made his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2013 after a year of preparation and reeled off nine consecutive wins, finishing his opponent in each victory and capturing two European regional titles along the way. [3]
ONE Championship[]
Reinier made his ONE debut at ONE Championship: Hero's Ascent on January 25, 2019 against Fan Rong, in a fight which he won by a first round submission. He would then face Gilberto Galvao at ONE Championship: Legendary Quest, knocking out Galvao in the second round with knees, and former title contender Leandro Ataides at ONE Championship: Warrior's Code, in which he won a hard fought decision.
On September 9, 2020, it was revealed that Reinier would be fighting for the ONE Middleweight World Championship against champion Aung La Nsang at ONE Championship: Inside the Matrix on October 30, 2020.[4][5] On October 30, 2020, Reinier won by submission in the first round, becoming the ONE Middleweight World Champion.[6]
After Vitaly Bigdash tested positive for COVID-19, Reinier de Ridder stepped in for a rematch against Aung La Nsang at ONE on TNT 4 on April 28, 2021, this time challenging for the ONE Light Heavyweight World Championship.[7][8] He won the fight by unanimous decision to become the new ONE Light Heavyweight World Champion.[9]
