Quick read
Reinier de Ridder has not ruled out a rematch with Robert Whittaker at light heavyweight, but indicated he would prefer a different opponent for his debut in the division. The Dutch fighter confirmed his next bout is scheduled for summer. De Ridder acknowledged the possibility of facing Whittaker again but stated a rematch is not currently necessary. This suggests he is looking to establish himself at 205 pounds before revisiting previous matchups. The timeline places his return in the June-August window.
