Apparently, The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) alum, Riddle, infuriated "The Monster" after what seems to be a disrespectful phone conversation with Randleman's wife. The former two-time NCAA Division-1 wrestler was having none of it and took to his official Twitter account to voice his displeasure toward Riddle:
Just yo be clear @mattriddle you and I will meet and when we do I will show you fucking respect. And anyone standing next to you the same
It was later brought to the attention of "The Monster" by one of his followers that he had sent the message to the wrong Twitter account and proceeded to give him the correct one. Randleman then unloaded a barrage of threats aimed at "Deep Waters."
Make the jump to see for yourself:
@theCyrildotcom @riddletuf7 nice fight Matt look forward to teaching you fucking respect. Your a tough Guy when talking.g to a woman. Myturn
@mma909 he's a fucking tough pussy when talking on phone to a women. Now he can't get out of this. Given opportunities. Now he has me.
@theCyrildotcom @riddletuf7 I let many people get away with murder. He spoke to her in a way that I will rip a peace of him off. Tough guy
I don't like men that want to be tough and yell at people. Any man that wouldn't check this pussy ain't a man. Now you will deal with me.
When asked by a follower to clarify whether or not Riddle indeed disrespected his wife, Randleman had this to say:
@theCyrildotcom @riddletuf7 yes he did and bad. Your a tough Guy now. And now you can't fix it pussy. You will meet me and you will be sorry
I have for 7 yr. Walked away from drama and fights. Heard this ass talk to my wife more than once. I'm as pissed at him as I feel about tito
@danawhite @lorenzofertitta would be pissed if they heard him speak to there wives so , so I wight 205 in the cage or out it will happen
You don't want to see "The Monster" when he is angry!
Though details are very vague as to what exactly was said between Riddle and Randleman's wife, it must have not been very pleasant if it made him this upset. The beef appears genuine and it doesn't seem that Randleman -- who has competed at heavyweight and light heavyweight during his time with PRIDE FC -- is merely trying to get his way back inside the Octagon.
He is after all, much, much bigger that Riddle and a legalfight between the two is highly unlikely to happen though Randleman assures Matt the two will settle their differences at some point in time.
For what it's worth, Riddle has yet to respond to any of the comments. To keep up with Randleman's Twitter assault on Riddle click here.
In the meantime, we will keep you updated as more details emerge.
Now fast forward to the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani on the 22nd, along with sounding kinda toolish, Riddle comments on the Monster thing around the 15:00 minute mark:
Kevin Randleman was not impressed but did take note of Riddle saying, "Hey, if Randleman drops to 185, I'll take that fight all day."
Make it happen, all beef aside, I'd like to see Randleman destroy Matt Riddle.

Any beef aside, I'd love to see Randleman get his hands on Riddle, Matt chronically comes off as toolish and the Monster is a complete psycho. Randleman could make 185 and I like that he is very cognizant of Riddle saying, "If Kevin could make 185, that is a fight I would take all day." Make it happen. I'd pick Randleman lol.
I always wondered about Randleman, he experienced high peaks as a heavyweight in the pioneer days, but I think he should of fought at welterweight in Pride in the inaugural WW Gran Prix. He was huge and good enough to be the UFC HW champ, but he should of been a 185 pound fighter the second he had a good chance to be in Pride, he could of extended the relevancy of his career greatly. People forget the Monster was a phenomenal 177 pound wrestler in college, still built like a brick shithouse. Check out this classic 1992 Big Ten finals video of him wrestling against Bart Chelesvig. (Props to Jimbo)
https://ninjasplace.forumotion.net/t977-classic-kevin-randleman?highlight=kevin The Randleman vs. Chelsvig match probably could be the main event by itself, Randleman fired up a hostile Hawkeye crowd early on and then drama ensued with Gable and Helickson exchanging mid match words. A out of bounds throw taking out a ref, people throwing stuff on the mat. You'd think you were at Philadelphia Eagles game. Good stuff all around. Randleman was a 3X NCAA All American and 2 time Champion. Chelsvig was a 3 time AA finishing 3rd all three years.

Kevin has kimbo knees nowadays. Riddle probably beats him.

If LW Henry Martinez can give Riddle all he could handle, I think Randleman makes Matt respect him.

this is over $500, wow some serious ground breaking money, in my opinion what choice did he give Riddle if he had his wife calling him over and over, $500 guess he didn't save to well in his heyday

This is about $500 bucks if you take Riddles words as the only possible truth. I got no reason to believe a word that dude says.
