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 –
