Have A Beer With Matt Riddle

From 2008 to 2013, Matt Riddle racked up a 7-3 (2 NC) record inside the cage. Those no-contests were famously overturned wins due to failed drug tests for marijuana. Those drug issues, as well as a public feud with Dana White, led to his release in 2013. Riddle later had a one-off fight in Titan FC, but instead focused on a career in professional wrestling.

The former middleweight contender had a lengthy run on the independent scene, before signing with the WWE in 2018. Matt Riddle had a solid run in the Triple H-led company but parted ways with them last September. Now a free agent, the former fighter is down for a return to the world of MMA.

The professional wrestler appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani earlier today. There, Matt Riddle confirmed plans to fight later this year, back down at middleweight. While the UFC veteran hasnā€™t started talks with anyone, he did show interest in potentially signing with Jorge Masvidalā€™s Gamebred MMA.

He was having so many issues in his personal life, which lead to him leaving WWE last September. Heā€™s gotta get something going. Heā€™s not getting any younger. I hope he finds a good space for his kidsā€™ sake.

If he did it right he could put together a good run in MMA. Not saying wrasslin isnā€™t hard on a fella, but theres lots of damage he didnā€™t take over these years while only getting stronger and developing greater body awareness.

Good team, clean livin, and he could get ā€œgo get some fansā€ pretty quick.

Just has to be humble and stop saying/doing dumb shit, lol.

People like a comeback, but its gotta be sincere.

Looking into it.

You piss off a mod or something?

I donā€™t think so. All I did was attempt to update my email since my old one was no longer active. When I received confirmation email, I clicked on the link and it takes me to the home page.

Ok, thats an important detail lol.
Can you pm your old and new credentials?

I canā€™t fix it but I can probably get it to the ones that can faster than waiting here.

@Alta - Can you reach out to this user and help with their account issue?

I cannot pm for some reason.
Thereā€™s no link.
