Reinier went on a seven fight winning streak with all the fights ending with stoppages. After this winning streak Reinier got the opportunity to fight for his the Middleweight belt in HIT FC, which he won by first round rear-naked choke. After winning his next bout in under two minutes, Reinier got offers from the UFC and ONE FC, deciding to go with the latter due to better terms.[4]

ONE Championship

Reinier made his ONE debut at ONE Championship: Hero's Ascent on January 25, 2019 against Fan Rong, in a fight which he won by a first round submission. He would then face Gilberto Galvao at ONE Championship: Legendary Quest, knocking out Galvao in the second round with knees, and former title contender Leandro Ataides at ONE Championship: Warrior's Code, in which he won a hard fought decision.

Double champion

Reinier was scheduled to make his first defense of the ONE Middleweight World Championship against current ONE Welterweight World Champion Kiamrian Abbasov at ONE: Full Circle on February 25, 2022.[17] After applying an arm-triangle choke at the end of the second round that forced Abbasov to tap after the bell, de Ridder ultimately won with the same submission in the third round to retain the ONE Middleweight World Championship.[18] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award.[19]
