Sinopse

Brad Riddell has been waiting to step inside the cage against Australia's best fighters – but it took him signing with the world's biggest mixed martial arts promotion before someone stepped up.The Herald has confirmed Riddell will make his UFC debut at UFC 243 in Melbourne on October 6, squaring off against Australian lightweight and fellow UFC debutant Jamie Mullarkey.Riddell, 27, was signed by the UFC earlier this month but had no opponent for his October debut. Mullarkey (12-2) saw his opportunity and called Riddell out on social media, claiming Riddell hadn't been tested by Australia's best.Speaking to the Herald, Riddell had a simple message for his opponent."Come at me," he said."I haven't fought the best Australia has to offer because they never offered themselves up to fight. I was asking for months to fight these guys. For six or seven months I was trying to find a fight and it was a mission; no one was putting their hand up."They were making excuses. They'd say I didn't have enough MMA experience –
