The initial main event of UFC Vancouver was supposed to be a middleweight clash between de Ridder and Anthony Hernandez. “Fluffy” was pulled from the card due to an injury. Speaking to Newsweek Sports, de Ridder said he was disappointed when he received the news about Hernandez, but he’s grateful to remain in the UFC Vancouver main event.
“I was very disappointed, of course,” de Ridder admitted. “Heartbroken. It would’ve been a very cool fight, but I expect to have it pretty soon as well. It’s going to come again, I think. We won’t have to wait too long for it. I thought, ‘Let’s try to stay on the card,’ and I thought we had a good chance for it as well because if you want to fight, the UFC is going to get you an opponent. Brendan stepped up pretty quickly after and I’m very happy that he did.”
