On November 13 at Madison Square Arena will take place UFC 281. In one of the preliminary card events, Brazilian lightweight Renato Carneiro will fight New Zeelander former kickboxer, Brad Riddell. The fight is planned for 00:00 UK time.
For me the favorite in this wonderful and colorful fight is Renato Carnerio. His standup work has been pleasing me lately, and I don’t think he may be worse than Brad Riddell in this aspect, maybe he may even beat him in some points, and on the floor, I expect to see a deceleration from Renato Carnerio, because the black belt in BJJ is making itself felt, and Riddell’s success in fighting is not pleasing.
Renato Carnerio is an all-rounder. Good rack work, a wide arsenal of bodybuilding moves (black belt), good footwork, and mediocre handholds. Also worth mentioning is the high opposition and good cardio. Moicano is on the whole a good fighter, but it feels like he’s going to go downhill soon. At this moment, the Brazilian lightweight is training at the First Fight Center/ American Top Team. Carnerio has 3 losses by knockout, 1 loss by submission, and 1 more loss by the decision of the judges. On March 5, 2022, he lost to Brazilian-American former lightweight UFC champion Rafael Dos Anjos by unanimous decision, win over American lightweight Alexander Hernandez by submission, and another win over English former Cage Warriors lightweight champion Jai Herbert.
Brad Riddell is a punching machine. Good punching combinations, weak wrestling, is very often stagnant, and has a weak defense against counterpunches. Also worth mentioning is good opposition and a weak hold, which gets worse and worse from fight to fight. Riddel is currently training at City Kickboxing and Tiger Muay Thai. New Zeelander has 2 losses and 4 wins under his belt. Quake lost to American lightweight Jalin Turner (by submission) in the first round, Kyrgyz lightweight Rafael Fiziev (by knockout) in the third round, and also a streak of 4 lines, where he defeated American lightweight Drew Dober (by unanimous decision of judges) in the third round, Brazilian lightweight Alex de Silva Coelho (by unanimous decision of judges) in the third round, Russian lightweight Magomed Mustafaev (by submission) in the third round, Australian lightweight Jamie Mullarkey (by unanimous decision of judges) in the third round.
