Riddle fights out rat pack, isnt that the team that got the UG's panties in abunch a few years ago?
Yes, and all the haters can now be quite. Not only did their fighter make the show, they have a good lineup of instructors.
ttt for the Rat Pack
I used to live 30 minutes away...but never got to visit.
Best of luck to the school.
Matt also has a 6 inch penis(erect) I saw it once its huge
Riddle is probobly an UGer that claimed Rat Pack as a joke knowing someone here would post about it...lol jk...I don't think it was "Rat Pack" that people questioned, it was thier bjj instructor that everyone on the UGs panties in a bunch.
Whats the story about the "Rat Pack"?
And Riddle is a damn good fighter for being so young. Credeur is no joke, Matt did a great job in there.
A few years back, when the Rat Pack started a rival school started sterring up all kinds of trouble on the UG. Since then, not only has the Rat Pack proved to be a better place to train, they took two of their instructors lol!
Rival school to who?
Looks like Riddle is done with the Rat Pack, felt he was being used by them. Nice interview over on MMAJUnkie too, worth a read.
"MATTHEW RIDDLE: I don't know what the deal is with the place I've been at here. I've been here like four months, and all the sudden I'm like their poster boy, but it's about to end. I'm having a meeting tonight, and I don't care if you put this in there, but I'm telling him off. It's like they're trying to use me. Yeah, it's probably smart on their part because it puts them on the map, but they could have gone about it differently. I feel like I'm being taking advantage of, and I don't like that. I'm probably going to train with (fellow castmate Mike) Dolce and all those guys at Team Quest North and then with Rampage at Big Bear (Calif.) with the high altitude and stuff to get ready for my fight... Rampage and I got along very well. I got along with Juanito, too, and all the coaches. They still call me to see what I'm doing."

Good for Riddle. He has too much potential to be stuck in BFE Pennsylvania.
ninjasaresweet - Matt also has a 6 inch penis(erect) I saw it once its huge
This man has obviously not met RayJackson yet!
If he made that comment I am shocked, The RP has been good to him!
I don't think he's talking about the rat pack, I grappled against Matt Riddle at the NAGA 2 years ago and he was with the RAT pack then... whatever school he is quoted as being there for four months I'm not sure.
We at Rat Pack were saddened and surprised to read the quote attributed to Matthew. I immediately went to his home to discuss it with him and, while he did express some concerns with some of the preshow marketing which was done locally, he indicated that his comments were misinterpreted.
Can't really comment on that and will have to take his word for it.
All I can say is that we have greatly enjoyed having Matthew at our academy and in the Simrell MMA Association over the past 9-10 months (not 4).
While here, we had the pleasure of sharing in his three major grappling tournament victories beginning in August 07 at Battle at the Beach as well as his first mma fight in November of last year. We also were pleased to watch Matt receive his Purple Belt from James Simrell, the director of our BJJ/MMA program, late last year and to accompany him to the TUF tryouts in November. I had the personal pleasure of spending significant time with Matthew outside of the gym as he was a frequent guest at my home and become a real role model to my 11 year old daughter and my 13 year old son, a darn good mma'er in his own right.
Anyone who has read any of my prior posts knows that we have never taken credit for Matthew's accomplishments in the ring, although he did have some excellent coaches and training partners while in our association. Rather, we have always taken the attitude that it was our great forturne to have him training with us and pushing our game to new levels and we have always done everything we could to promote and support him both in and out of the gym.
We have always recognized that, upon his return from the house, he would have outgrown us and need to move on to greener pastuers.
Where our relatioship with Matthew goes from here is yet to be seen but we wish him all of the best in his future career.
what happened at the Rat Pack a few years ago?
for the uninitiated.
the original thread seems to have been deleted, but heres a related one.
Good for Riddle, he's a hell of an athelete and seems to have a great attitude toward the fight game. But he needs to get with a pro camp and develope his game and FFS fight smarter. He really should've beaten Credeur (who's tough!).
