Reinier de Ridder calls Bo Nickal – this time for training to beat Khamzat Chimaev

Reinier de Ridder and Bo Nickal have a common enemy.

In May, ‘RDR’ Nickal handed his first career loss in mixed martial arts, so that the former Nittany Lion was chosen brutally in the second round of their UFC des Moines Co-Main event.

Now the Dutchman wants to train with Nickal hoping to give the world -class wrestler a chance to be the man who beat the newly beaten middleweight world titling, Khamzat Chimaev.

“I have everything I needed this morning, but maybe I will see if I can get a little more wrestlers,” De Ridder said Nice junkie. “There are already many. I thought I might try to send a message to Bo Nickal if I could get it out. That would be great. That would be great for this fight. We will see it. That would be quite cool.”

Although a battle between Chimaev and Nickal seems inevitable, the triple NCAA Division I champion has some work to do before he gets a crack at UFC Gold. De Ridder, however, can only be one big victory away from a confrontation with the unbeaten Chechen Monster.

Reinier de Ridder Meets ‘Fluffy’ Hernandez in Vancouver

After a split decision victory at Robert Whittaker in Abu Dhabi, ‘RDR’ launched himself in the top five of the middleweight and became an immediate title candidate. Now he will solidify himself as the next man when he meets the rising 185-pound sensation Anthony Hernandez in the UFC Vancouver Headliner on October 18.

Earlier this month, ‘Fluffy’ delivered an absolutely dominant version against Roman Dolidze in Las Vegas, which extended his undefeated line to eight and his record improved in the inside Octagon Until 9-2.
