Renato Moicano favored — picked against Brad Riddell lean UFC 281 · November 8, 2022
The analyst says he's only barely leaning toward Riddel in a fight he doesn't feel confident about, pointing to the striking gap as the deciding factor.
Riddel's kickboxing is genuinely high level and varied — he mixes targets and levels freely and still carries real power in his volume rather than just piling up empty strikes. He also has functional wrestling and solid takedown defense of his own, which should make it costly for an opponent looking to close distance and clinch him up. A prior win over a similarly relentless, forward-marching opponent is a point in his favor here.
