Reinier de Ridder (21-4-0) and Roman Dolidze (15-5-0) will clash in the UFC Light Heavyweight division on Saturday night at Golden 1 Center. De Ridder will be actively looking to end his two-fight losing run and reestablish himself in the division. The Dutchman failed to bounce back from his KO defeat against Brendan Allen after losing to Caio Borralho in March this year via a unanimous decision. The “RDR” will be under pressure to win as the heavy -400 betting favorite.
Roman Dolidze, meanwhile, is the +260 betting underdog this weekend. Like his opponent on Saturday, the Georgian bruiser will be fighting to stop his two-fight slide, which ended his three-fight winning run. He dropped his fight against Christian Leroy Duncan via decision in March this year. Earlier, he was choked out by Anthony Hernandez in August last year, showing his vulnerability on the ground. A win on Saturday could be the turning point in his career.

Our Queen of Ridder vs Roman Dolidze Prediction
It will be surprising if Reinier de Ridder loses this fight. We expect him to lean heavily on his elite wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu background to close the distance and submit his opponent. The Dutchman also comes with a 2-inch reach advantage, which should give him an edge if both fighters stay on their feet. However, Dolidze is also a solid grappler, so we don’t expect a Round 1 finish. The Georgian averages 1.16 takedowns per minute with a decent accuracy of 43%. Still, we expect his rival to secure a takedown later in this fight and get a fight-ending submission. This should be a closer contest than the moneyline odds suggest.
Our prediction for Reinier de Ridder vs Roman Dolidze: Bet against the fight going the distance.
