It didn't do Riddle any good. Got a win turned into a NC.

Marijuana should not be a banned substance in any state.

once again i'm blown away by the intellectual capacity of the twitter user.

that's got his name, address and date of birth on it, an identity thiefs wet dream right there.

"So I passed that test and that's what it is and you know, in the future I mean I know all these guys are taking testosterone and all that and they have medical releases, and I'm hoping maybe I can talk to a commission or talk to somebody and maybe get the rules changed."

"I'm not asking to, you know, rip a tube before I get in the Octagon," said Riddle. "It's like I quit, I quit pretty far out. [I quit] like two weeks [out from a fight]. But, I'm like a heavy user, you know, to be honest and it sticks around in my system because I'm skin and bone, you know, but it still sticks in my system. So, you know, that's what it is and until they change the rules or amend it, I'll abide by whatever they tell me to do."

"[Marijuana] makes me honestly, for a guy like me I've explained it to other people, I'm very high strung," he said. "You can ask anybody who hangs out with me, when I'm not on my medicine -- not that I'm hard to be around, but I'm very intense. You say something stupid I'll (expletive) let you know, I go off. You know, I'm very, it's almost like a New York minute, I'm very fast, I'm right to the point, I'm in your face. Like right now, ba-da-ba-ba, I'm talking very fast. I like to slow it down, I like to be normal, I like to be like a normal person and right now it's like I'm on edge."

"If I didn't just get out of the cage I'd want to beat the (expletive) out of somebody just for no reason. And that's just how I'm wired, and I don't like it. I like being the nice guy. So when I use, I'm a very nice guy and everybody around me loves me more. I'm just a much more pleasant person to be around."

"The unfortunate part is, you know, in this world, you know, people are okay if you take Xanax, testosterone and all these other drugs as long as a doctor prescribes them. But, if you're prescribed medical marijuana, you know, because of your issues, it's not acceptable and they really frown upon it.

"I hope, you know, two states already legalized it in America and I just hope they really turn it around.

If it didn't have his name in the transcript I would swear this was the minutes on a Nick Diaz interview.

How can you not agree with Riddle here? It's not Diaz, so it's OK for you to agree.

I never said I didn't agree with it. But all the "like, you know, right?"s in there reminded Me alot of Diaz' interviews where he stumbles to form complete sentences.
