Reinier de Ridder open to Robert Whittaker rematch at light heavyweight

Reinier de Ridder has stated he would not rule out a potential rematch with Robert Whittaker at light heavyweight, though he prefers to face a different opponent in his debut at the new weight class. De Ridder also confirmed that his next fight is scheduled for this summer. The Dutch fighter appears to be moving up in weight, which could open new matchmaking possibilities. While a Whittaker rematch remains a possibility for the future, de Ridder's comments suggest he wants to establish himself at light heavyweight against fresh opposition first. The post includes a comment agreeing that an immediate rematch with Whittaker is unnecessary.
