Expect a much fresher "RDR."
Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight contender Reinier de Ridder makes his Light Heavyweight debut against Roman Dolidze on the UFC Sacramento main card this weekend (Sat., Aug. 22, 2026) inside Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
And the move is probably long overdue.
Despite enjoying tremendous success at Middleweight — climbing within one victory of a potential ***** le shot — de Ridder destroyed his body in the process of making the 185-pound limit.
At 6'4," de Ridder was gigantic for the division. During his first year with UFC, the Dutch fighter successfully made Middleweight five times, which seems absolutely insane in hindsight.
