Reinier de Ridder and Caio Borralho, both seeking to rebound from recent losses, will face off at UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas, joining a lineup headlined by Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira.
A couple of top 10 middleweights are gearing up to bounce back from recent setbacks. Reinier de Ridder is set to face Caio Borralho at UFC 326 on March 7, happening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Exciting stuff!
Insiders familiar with the promotion’s plans have confirmed this clash to MMA Fighting. This follows an initial scoop by Leo Guimaraes on social media. Gotta love those early leaks!
De Ridder, a former two-division ONE Championship titleholder, made waves after joining the UFC. He racked up four straight wins, including victories over ex-UFC middleweight champ Robert Whittaker and rising star Bo Nickal. Quite the resume!
Just when it seemed de Ridder was on the brink of a title shot, Brendan Allen stopped him cold at UFC Vancouver. The fight ended with de Ridder unable to continue after the fourth round, giving Allen a TKO victory. Ouch.
Now, the Dutch grappler is eyeing redemption in March. Borralho, too, is looking to regain his footing after a recent stumble. Both fighters are hungry for a win.
Borralho had a 7-0 streak in the UFC but hit a roadblock against Nassourdine Imavov in September. With only two career losses, he’s determined to avoid a third when he meets de Ridder.
These middleweights join a stacked lineup at UFC 326. “BMF” champ Max Holloway will defend his title against Charles Oliveira in the main event. It’s shaping up to be a night to remember!
