RDR is huge for 185 ,I doubt Bo can make 170 he cuts too and never looked ripped even in college.RDR is IMO top 2or 3 at 185..BO looked terrible A wrestler who wants to kickbox does not work in UFC and his kickboxing is average at best..He needed to be humbled and was.He should do what he does best which is wrestle .RDR is 1 shot away from a title shot

Ben is on a whole different world than Bo, absolutely was a great fighter period. To say otherwise is naive at best, and ignorant at worst. Do some research.
Ben had a GREAT career with high quality wins in Bellator and ONE before coming to the UFC, and it’s not fair at all to judge his entire career based off his last couple UFC fights while in his late 30’s when his body was shot.
Even if just going off his UFC run, how you gonna question him having a fighter phenotype with the beating Lawler was giving him, and he didn’t quit?

I’m a fan of Bo, but his lack of challenge since he started has shown. DeRidder is a good fighter and Bo looked somewhat unprepared for the challenge (not taking anything away). I’d love to see this be a big wake up call. Fans love a comeback story. Also, I definitely would enjoy watching De Ridder beat up Strickland.

Wow! Journolism is a dead art now!
Multiple news souces creating an artical just due to a “fighter” stating "Grateful for the highs and lows. I’ll be back.”!
Barely even a tweet!

I’ve seen him workout with weights.
For such a high level wrestler, he is shockingly weak in the weight room. I suppose Askren was the same.

He’s already faced someone a lot scarier than that Chechen goat humper.

That knee at 2:55 of that vid is when I initially thought Bo was hurt to the body while I was watching the fight. He immediately tucked his elbow to defend that strike and kept it pinned there.
RDR showed incredible technique and fight IQ by continuing to attack that.

I would already take De Ridder over Khamzat.
Style wise De Ridder is a bad match up for most of the 185lb division

What a class act this De Ridder is. He doesnt kick Bo when he is down and offers to cross train with him. I am starting to like this guy more and more
