New Blood, Come-backs, and a Killer

This past week, the UFC officially announced the signing of former ONE Championship two-division champ Reinier de Ridder.

De Ridder was champion over at ONE for their middleweight and light-heavyweight divisions and was undefeated up until last year. That’s only one of his accolades, you can read more about why he should be on your radar on my piece over at MyMMANews. His debut date will be on November 9 at the UFC APEX but you can listen to why his signing is a breath of fresh air in MMA on the latest Coast-2-Coast Combat Hour podcast.

Kevin Lee

Kevin Lee is back in MMA and he made his return on Spectation Sports at Lights Out Championship 17. He ran through his opponent in the first round and left the following message for fans:

A Lightweight Killer Keeps Putting in Work

Speaking of Lights Out Championship 17, Abe “The Killer” Alsaghir moved to 6-0 in the main event last night after Kevin Lee’s short work. Alsaghir has fought three times this year and competed in a pro grappling match. He hasn’t lost yet and is looking to fast-track himself into the UFC.

I’ve spoken to Alsaghir a few times for Spectation Sports; his work ethic and determination are something, not many 23-year-old fighters have. Check out the highlight of his finish below:
