We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC 326 results, including the co-main event between Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder.
Borralho (18-2 MMA) will be competing for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss at the hands of Nassourdine Imavov back in September of last year. Prior to that setback, ‘The Natural’ had won sixteen fights in a row, a streak which included victories over Jared Cannonier and Paul Craig.
Meanwhile, Reinier de Ridder (21-4 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past October, where he suffered a TKO loss to Brendan Allen. That defeat snapped a five-fight winning streak for ‘RDR’, who had previously scored Octagon wins over the likes of Robert Whittaker and Bo Nickal.
