As per Alex Behunin, he’ll be getting a big step up in competition in the form of a showdown with Kevin Holland. The two are set to meet at UFC 311 in what will serve as the promotion’s first pay-per-view event of the new year.
In terms of what we can expect, that all comes down to how de Ridder approaches the contest. We all know about his submission prowess but in equal measure, he isn’t afraid to stand if the situation arises – although, with Kevin Holland standing across from him, that may not be the wisest of ideas.
