Finds submission in UFC debut
De Ridder defeated Gerald Meerschaert via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:44 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A former two-division champion in ONE, de Ridder made his UFC debut here, and truth be told, didn't look very good. He landed some big blows on the feet, but also had his issues with the striking game of Meerschaert, which isn't a great sign. Both men made headway in the grappling department, with RDR landing 5-of-13 takedown attempts and finally finding the submission early in Round 3 after Gerald gassed out and essentially could no longer defend himself. Meerschaert is a tricky opponent to make your company debut again because of his grappling exploits, but it would of been nice to see a bit more emphatic victory from de Ridder, especially given his pedigree and the fact he entered as a -325 favorite.
