Reinier de Ridder Hints Focusing On BJJ Career After He’s Done With MMA

Reinier de Ridder, current ONE middleweight world champion, is one of the most versatile grapplers in mixed martial arts.

Namely, since he made his ONE Championship debut back in 2019, “The Dutch Knight” has won seven out of his eight fights – with four of them being via submission.

And, well, it seems that he would be more than content with competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (again), after he’s done with his professional MMA career.
Here’s what he had to say on his social media:

In the beginning of my career I got silver at the Europeans 3 years in a row which sparked my full time move to MMA because I was frustrated with the rules in BJJ.

But one day I need a pair of these so when MMA is done and I can focus on BJJ I will see if I can also achieve this amazing result.
