Roman DolidzevsReinier Ridder

Dolidze's been on his own rollercoaster. He beat Marvin Vettori in a five round war, then got caught in a rear naked choke by Anthony Hernandez in the fourth round of his headliner. Most recently, he dropped a decision to Christian Leroy Duncan. Now he's moving up a weight class looking for a fresh start. Here's the thing though, both these guys have finished Kevin Holland, so we know they can get the job done when they smell blood.

The matchup is fascinating because De Ridder's southpaw grappling against Dolidze's power and scrambling ability could go either way. RdR has that slick submission game that's caught so many guys sleeping, but Dolidze showed against Holland he can dominate with ground and pound when he gets on top. At light heavyweight, the extra weight might favor the guy who can impose their game first. Fans are curious to see if the move up helps both guys feel stronger or if it just means they're carrying more weight into deep waters.
