It appears that Reinier
\nde Ridder<\/a> is headed to the light heavyweight division.<\/p>\n

The former ONE Championship two-division title holder lost his
\nsecond consecutive Octagon appearance at UFC 326 last Saturday,
\nfalling to Caio
\nBorralho<\/a> via unanimous decision at the T-Mobile Arena in Las
\nVegas. In a video post to his Instagram account, \u201cThe Dutch Knight\u201d
\nrevealed that his next fight is likely going to be at 205
\npounds.<\/p>\n

Moving on Up<\/h2>\n

\u201cI came up a little short. I think it could have gone either way
\nbut I\u2019m happy that I got my body back most importantly. I was able
\nto go three hard rounds. I think I have a lot more to show,\u201d de
\nRidder said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI brought you guys doughnuts because I need you guys heavy, I need
\nyou guys strong because I\u2019m coming at 205 [pounds], baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Competing in higher weight classes is nothing new for de Ridder,
\nwho fought as high as heavyweight in ONE. De Ridder began his
\nOctagon tenure with four consecutive triumphs to emerge as a
\ncontender at 185 pounds. However, that momentum came to a halt on
\nthe heels of back-to-back losses against Borralho and Brendan
\nAllen.<\/p>\n
