Insider info
vs Renato Moicano lean UFC 281 Full Card Preview, Prediction, & Analysis · November 8, 2022
Named plainly in the 'both'-tagged segs 12-13, but by his own description this is a razor-thin lean on a close fight that he is not confident about, with an acknowledged willingness to switch sides if the price moves. Re-audited at pick level: no mistag found.
Board itself spells the surname 'Riddel' (single L), matching the transcript slug rather than the roster's double-L spelling; reported per rule 4e, no roster change proposed. A high-level, well-rounded kickboxer who mixes targets and keeps good volume, with decent wrestling and decent takedown defense giving him a path to avoid Moicano's clinch entries.
