Reinier de Ridder rips training at former gym after move to ATT

Reinier de Ridder has switched from Kill Cliff FC to American Top Team ahead of his permanent move to light heavyweight in the UFC. The Dutchman is scheduled to face Roman Dolidze at 205 pounds on Aug. 22 at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. De Ridder said he enjoyed the atmosphere at Kill Cliff FC but cited declining session quality, noting Aung La N Sang opening his own gym and head coach Henri Hooft being away for personal reasons. He added that several top fighters had left, reducing the effectiveness of training. Since joining the UFC, he is 4-2 with wins over Bo Nickal and Robert Whittaker before losses to Brendan Allen and Caio Borralho, and he hopes the ATT move helps him rebound at UFC Sacramento.
