Reinier de Ridder open to Whittaker rematch at light heavyweight, next fight in summer

Reinier de Ridder has revealed he does not rule out a potential rematch with Robert Whittaker, though he would prefer the bout to take place at light heavyweight rather than middleweight. De Ridder indicated that he would like to face a different opponent for his UFC debut rather than immediately running back the Whittaker fight. He confirmed that his next fight is scheduled to take place during the summer. De Ridder was clear that a rematch with Whittaker is not what he wants right now, suggesting he wants to establish himself in a new weight class first.
