Reinier De Ridder Fires Back at Khamzat Chimaev After Harsh Criticism Post Loss

Middleweight champion Chimaev mocked De Ridder after his corner stopped the fight in Round 4 against Brendan Allen at UFC Vancouver, labelling him “big bullsh*t.” The #4-ranked contender hit back with “Shut up” while posting photos of Chimaev from his COVID-19 illness in 2021, when the undefeated Chechen star briefly retired. Despite the loss, RDR called out ex-champion Sean Strickland.
