So far his striking looks like shit. ---

Low impact fighting but he got the job done ---

Someone will put him on their highlight reel standing. He’s way too slow. ---

I thought he looked good for his first UFC fight, He didn’t appear to suffer from the UFC debut jitters & he wasn’t out of his depth. He’s not going to beat the elite 185 pound fighters but he’ll be involved in some entertaining fights & become a contender IMO. ---

I’m a huge RdR fan. Hope he can make some waves going down to 185 in UFC. ---

Meerschart is a bum. If he struggled with him, he’s in trouble. ---

I wouldn’t say he struggled with him too badly considering 185 is a new weight class for him & he was making his UFC debut. Meerschart’s no bum. He no contender but he a solid journeyman-level fighter. As I said, de Ridder is unlikely to become champion but I think he’ll develop into a decent mid-tier contender. ---

He’ll probably be a Taric Saffedine-level guy. Isn’t the guy also 34? He realistically won’t be in his prime in a year or two if at all. ---

He would struggle to win TUF [Previous page](https://og.discourse.group/t/reinier-de-ridder-former-two-division-one-championship-titleholder-signs-with-ufc/7644.md?page=1)
