In this episode of Around the Octagon, we break down the electrifying middleweight showdown pitting former champ Robert Whittaker against Dutch grappling phenom Reinier de Ridder at UFC Fight Night on July 26 in Abu Dhabi. Whittaker brings elite striking and a resume of high-level victories, but he's fought some massive grapplers—and lost. De Ridder, a former double‑champ in ONE, steps in as the underdog with a massive 6'4" frame, 79″ reach, and a perfect finish record in UFC. It's striker vs grappler on a grand scale: Whittaker must keep it standing, while de Ridder could overwhelm him on the mat. We also highlight notable undercard fightups and early betting odds—this one’s a potential division-defining war.
