Brad Riddell is out, leaving Thiago Moises currently without an opponent. The longtime lightweight fighters were expected to square off March 16 at a UFC Fight Night event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. With Riddell (10-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) out for undisclosed reasons, it’s unclear if Moises (17-7 MMA, 6-5 UFC) will remain on the card against a new opponent. Two people with knowledge of the change informed MMA Junkie of it Wednesday but asked to remain anonymous since the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. If he remains on the card, Moises will look to bounce back after a September loss to Benoit Saint Denis .
