WATCH: Reinier De Ridder calls out Andre Galvao for an MMA match

26 March 2022

Reinier De Ridder and Andre Galvao fought to a draw earlier today at ONE X. The 12-minute grappling match between the two had plenty of action from the start and De Ridder surprised everyone with his performance against a seasoned grappler like Galvao.

Galvao spent a good portion of the match on the bottom position and almost took the back of De Ridder at one point of the fight. The Brazilian also had some close moments in the last minute of the match but De Ridder successfully managed to fend off the challenge and pushed the fight to a draw.
