UFC Vancouver Preview: De Ridder vs Allen + Pereira's Next Move | Ringside Report MMA
Dave Simon, AJ D'Alesio, and Fred Garcia deliver a comprehensive breakdown of this Saturday's UFC Fight Night from Vancouver, featuring former ONE Championship double-champ Reinier de Ridder taking on Brendan Allen in what could be a middleweight title eliminator!
IN THIS EPISODE:
PEREIRA-ANKALAEV FALLOUT - The hosts analyze Alex Pereira's stunning first-round knockout of Magomed Ankalaev and debate whether the trilogy fight makes sense or if "Poatan" should move up to heavyweight to face the Gane-Aspinall winner.
MAIN EVENT BREAKDOWN - De Ridder vs Allen could determine the next challenger for Khamzat Chimaev's middleweight title. Fred argues that RDR's win over Whittaker is the deciding factor, while Dave questions whether beating Allen (instead of the injured Anthony Hernandez) is enough.
ZAHABI'S BIG MOMENT - Montreal's Aiman Zahabi gets his toughest test against former title challenger Marlon "Chito" Vera. On a six-fight win streak after beating Jose Aldo, can the 37-year-old break into the top five? AJ breaks down the age advantage and Fred calls it a "very winnable fight."
CANADIAN SPOTLIGHT - Mike Malott faces Kevin Holland in the co-main, Charles Jourdain battles Davey Grant, and several other Canadians look to shine on home soil. AJ goes ALL-IN on the Canadians with his betting parlay!
MERAB MANIA - Is Merab Dvalishvili the fighter of 2025? The hosts discuss his historic four title defenses in one calendar year and why he deserves the #1 pound-for-pound ranking. Fred praises his personality, and Dave celebrates how dominant "The Machine" has been.
HEAVYWEIGHT FUTURES - Next week's Aspinall vs Gane fight could be Jon Jones' worst nightmare. The crew debates whether Cyril can pull the upset and discusses the weak state of the heavyweight division.
BETTING PICKS:
- Dave's Safe Parlay: RDR, Holland, Bekoev
- Fred's Title Shot Special: RDR, Zahabi
- AJ's Canadian Explosion: 5-fight all-Canadian parlay for 9-1 odds!
