Undefeated in his four bouts with the promotion since joining the UFC last year, de Ridder<\/a> has emerged as a force in the middleweight division, with him most recently defeating former champion Robert Whittaker<\/a> earlier in the summer. Now on the cusp of a title opportunity, \u201cThe Dutch Knight\u201d will be looking to make himself the next man in line by decimating his short-notice opponent in the UFC Vancouver main event.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Facing a previous two-division belt-holder in the UFC Vancouver main event, the South Carolina native is \u201cAll In\u201d on making a massive upset this weekend.<\/p>\n
