We're all proud of you kid. You fought their top guy whose been fighting since you were in grade school and put on a great display of heart, courage and talent. Your potential is limitless and we all believe in you 100%.
Thanks for giving a shout out to the gym and keep your chin up. I'm conifdent you won a lot of fans tonight and showed America and the world that you don't have to train at one of the "big schools" to hang with the best.
God's speed my friend. Now get your ass back in the gym!
Thanks for the support guys. I know Matt appreciates it.
He clearly showed tonight that he has the one thing no one can teach. BALLS! the rest will come with time. He's only trained mma for 2 years. I promise you'll be seeing a lot of this kid in the future!
You are at a ravine with three others and need to cross a rickety bridge. You can cross it in one minute, the three others can cross it in two, five, and ten, respectively. A flashlight (your group has only one) is always required to cross, and only two people can cross at a time. How do you cross as quickly as possible?
Riddle showed a huge heart. Much respect for the guy. His strength seemed really good as well. Looked like he out muscled Credeur in some moments of the fight.
Just gain some more experience and I think he'd turn out to be one hell of a fighter.
I think Matt is awesome. He was game and definitely tested me. The kid is gonna be a force in the next couple years. I am just glad I got the chance to fight such a great talent. Congrats Matt and best of luck in the future bro.
Awesome post by Tim, grats on the win. But how can u not be impressed with Chipper! Basically if he woulda just backed outta your guard Tim, he "could" of coasted to a decision. I bet riddle is kickin himself for not hearing rampage SCREAMING to stand up.
But i wanted u to win just becuz i know how much u've put into this sport and I knew riddle would prolly get himself another shot at the UFC win or loss as long as he showed heart.
On Matt's behalf Tim, thank you for the kind words of support. You are a class act my friend and, as I said on other threads, I think you both got what you needed last night. Your star rose higher in the mma universe and, dare i say, a new star was born,
Best of luck to you and your family. You have fans in Palmerton PA now my friend!
hi tim, I was just wondering if you aquired any pics of riddles mom? lol, great fight from both of you guys and I really liked how you went after one of the tuffest in the house right away.
LOL. As I am confident the remainder of the season will prove...the last thing Riddle needs is a driver's lisence!
There are very good reasons why people like me, his training partners and his mom drive him everywhere as will become quite evident in the weeks to come!
As I have said elsewhere, the only credit I take for Riddle, other than trying to guide him professionally, is that I had the common sense when he first walked into my gym and asked how much it was to train, to reply "How much do you want??".
