Brad Riddell suffered his third loss in a row on Saturday, on the prelim card of UFC 281. At Madison Square Garden he fell by first round submission to Renato Moicano. Previous to that he was submitted by Jalin Turner and KO’d by Rafael Fiziev.
Soon after the Moicano loss Riddell posted online that he would be taking a pause on his MMA career.
“I appreciate everyone that has been supporting me and standing by my side from day one though to these last two lackluster performances,” Riddell posted. “I’m going to step away from competing in MMA for a good while until the fire to compete comes back.
