Reinier de Ridder admits to thinking ‘it might be over’ after health complications following UFC Vancouver
Reinier de Ridder had moments of doubt about his future following UFC Vancouver.
A former two-division champion in ONE, de Ridder made immediate waves after signing with the UFC in 2024, winning his first four fights, including a victory over former champion Robert Whittaker. “The Dutch Knight” found himself on the cusp of a title shot, but that all came crashing down in October, when “RDR” got stopped by Brendan All at UFC Vancouver.
Afterward, much was made of de Ridder’s collapse during the bout as he gassed out early in the fight, and speaking with media during the UFC 326 Media Day, “RDR” acknowledged that fighting five times in 11 months wreaked havoc on his body.

UFC 326 full fight: Caio Borralho sleeps Paul Craig with nasty hook
Caio Borralho's rise to title contention was accompanied with a nasty finish of veteran Paul Craig.
Back at UFC 301 in May 2024, Borralho showed he's more than a skilled grappler by putting the lights out on Craig. After landing some solid shots on the feet in Round 1, Borralho entered Round 2 with plenty of confidence in his hands. In a sequence, he rushed Craig and dropped him with a brutal left hook. It was an impressive finish that got the Brazilian a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
You can watch Borralho's big win over Craig in the video above.
Borralho (17-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) returns to the cage this Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 326 (Paramount+, CBS) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. He takes on Reinier de Ridder (21-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) in a five-round middleweight matchup.
