This includes several significant victories that allowed him to unify two weight classes and go undefeated before he was defeated by Anatoly Malykhin in December of the previous year and forfeited his light heavyweight title.De Ridder will test his grappling prowess against one of the world’s top no-gi grapplers in his return to competition after experiencing defeat for the first bout in his career.

It’s both the [craziest] and most humble experience I’ve ever had, man. They are the grappling athletes I have always admired, particularly John Danaher and Gordon Ryan. There is an endless list of names there, including [Giancarlo] Bodoni.On May 5, De Ridder will compete against Tye Ruotolo at ONE Fight Night 10.
