The elite of the middleweight division’s elite comes to a head this weekend at UFC Vancouver, as former ONE Championship royalty Reinier de Ridder looks to secure a title shot by toppling the formidable Brendan Allen in the UFC Vancouver Main Event. In the co-main event, fan-favorite name Kevin Holland tests himself against native hero Mike Malott.
UFC Vancouver Main Event
Undefeated in his four bouts with the promotion since joining the UFC last year, De Ridder has emerged as a force in the middleweight division, defeating former champion Robert Whittaker earlier this summer. Now on the cusp of a title shot, “The Dutch Knight” will look to make himself the next man in line by decimating his opponent on short notice in the UFC Vancouver Main Event.
Allen returns to the winner’s circle by knocking out division foe Marvin Vettori at UFC 318 and is eager to return to his quest to reach the top of the weight class. Facing a previous two-division titleholder in the UFC Vancouver main event, the South Carolina native is “All In” to pull off a huge upset this weekend.

Holland continues to maintain an extremely active schedule, competing in his fourth mixed martial arts match in 2025; his third at welterweight. ‘The Trailblazer’ seems to have settled into his place as a fan favorite at 170 pounds and wants nothing more than to give the Canadian public their money’s worth.
Malott is his hometown defensive hero, fighting on his fourth straight Canada card. Determined to make an impression on his home turf, “Proper” will test himself against a true veteran in America’s Netherlands.
