Khamzat Chimaev has taken over the middleweight division. Who will he defend the UFC middleweight title against? UFC Vancouver on October 18 could determine that, as Reinier de Ridder faces Anthony Hernandez.
de Ridder (21-2) is a former ONE middleweight and light heavyweight champion. The Dutch fighter is 5-0 with four finishes to start his UFC career, and looks to go 4-0 in 2025.
Ranked fifth at middleweight, “The Dutch Knight” and Chimaev have called one another out. First, he must continue his quick rise to the top and get past Hernandez.

Ranked sixth, “Fluffy” (15-2, 1 NC) is on an eight-fight win streak since 2021. The American has gone 2-0 in 2025 and holds multiple records within the middleweight division. He’s ready to add to his momentum while ending de Ridder’s.
If either fighter impresses in this bout, they could surpass the winner of Nassourdine Imavov vs. Caio Borralho in September as the top contender for Chimaev.
