In the just-concluded "ONE: Life forever" major fighting event on February 25, the middleweight world champion "Dutch Knight" Reinier De Ridder once again staged a stunning fight.
On the same day, Riddle fully mastered the rhythm with a strong hug and ground suppression in the headline main event, leaving his opponent with nowhere to show his heavy punches, and after three rounds of 57 seconds, Riddle relegated the active world champion Kiamrian Abbasov in the middleweights, successfully defending the middleweight world gold belt.
Currently, Riddle's title is a two-tier world champion in the middleweight and light heavyweight categories, and his next goal is to impact the three-tier world champion. This requires a very high level of comprehensive strength for the players.
Judging by Riddle's current career record, he has a chance to impact this honor. Riddle has so far won 15 games, only two of which have been won by judgment, and the rest have all ended the opponent, of which 8 have been won in the first leg.
After joining the ONE Championship, Riddle won two consecutive victories over Myanmar's Aung La N Sang, and successively took away the two world championship gold belts of middleweight and light heavyweight from the "Burmese Python" to create his own new era.
Having won such an honor for his debut in the ONE Championship, Riddle has a large number of masters behind him. Riddle did not become low-key because of this, but after the last game, he strongly called out the three world's top masters. One is heavyweight world champion Arjan Bhullar, one is interim heavyweight world champion Anatoly Malykhin, and the other is Andre Galvao, who has just joined the ONE Championship and is known as the "world's strongest jiu-jitsu".
Faced with such a high-profile posture, the ONE Championship chose to meet Riddle, and in the upcoming "ONE X" major fighting event on March 26, Riddle will once again take the stage against Andrea Galvo, who is extremely jiu-jitsu.
How strong is Andrea's strength? Born in Brazil, he began practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 12. At the age of 14, his father lost his job, and Andre was forced to go out to work, interrupting his martial arts training. Three years later, Andre returned to the ring and welcomed a new coach, Fernando "Terere" Augusto, a legendary Brazilian jiu-jitsu master.
The master was once one of the most talented and charismatic Brazilian jiu-jitsu athletes on the mat, winning the world championship several times. At the age of 20, he had become a black belt world champion and was regarded as one of the top Barrogue players in the early 2000s.
Under the guidance of his mentors, Andrei also grew into the strongest Brazilian jiu-jitsu athlete. Between 2005 and 2017, he won not only the IBJJF World Championship at all levels above Le Cordon Bleu, but also five world titles in Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.
At present, André has formed a world-class jiu-jitsu team and become a Brazilian jiu-jitsu master. His addition is enough to make the competition for the big level of the ONE Championship more intense.
This time, Andre's opponent Riddle is also a player known for his ground skills, and when the momentum of the double champion meets the Brazilian jiu-jitsu master, this game is destined to ignite the enthusiasm of the audience inside and outside the stadium!
