Brad Riddell’s team refutes claim over ‘strange hand gesture’ in Rafael Fiziev fight

Brad Riddell and Rafael Fiziev put on a show last weekend, which was exactly what was expected out of the two popular action-fighters. The bout ended in a third round KO after Fiziev caught Riddell with a ridiculous spinning wheel kick.

Some onlookers have wondered if Riddell, having taken some big shots from his opponent, tried to call off the contest prior to the finishing strike. Those theorists point to a waving gesture they say Riddell made during the fight.

Riddell’s camp—City Kickboxing—put out a statement refuting claims that Riddell would ever try to call off a fight.
