Riddle: UFC favors retards over technicians

Quote :

"Look at guys like Dave Herman. Three fight losing streak, gets knocked out like three times in a row and fails two drug tests for weed and he is still in the UFC. I don't take anything from Herman, I bet he is a great guy, but, I don't know, I think that is very hypocritical and those are politics right there, that's not good business. That's guys getting together having a little pow-wow and saying, 'Let's get rid of Riddle. He's fighting more conservative, he's going out there for wins and he's fighting more educated and I would rather hire a couple of guys from Australia or the U.K. that just brawl and pay them half as much.' I kind of knew. I was kind of getting paid more, everything was coming into play, I was hitting my stride and I think they were just looking for a way to get rid of me."

"What I see happening is a year or two from now, the UFC will call me back after I've won five or six fights and I will probably, at that time, probably say no because I really don't like the direction they are taking the company. They are firing high-level talent so they can have lower-level talent to just scrap. They would rather have a brawl than a good technical fight and I think that is going to be their downfall because the fans are getting more educated and they are getting smarter and they don't want to see a slugfest and two retarded guys with brain damage bleeding everywhere."

I like how Riddle just talked like he had been cut after a boring win and pretty much ignored the fact that he failed his 2nd drug test in what, 3 fights?

he's dead on

Yeah i kind of agree with Riddle here, they made Herman do a drug rehab thing if i remember correctly?? and riddle just gets the raw deal which is unfortunate and my heart bleeds for him.

lol, i'm pretty sure i've said that about the UFC atleast a couple times...during Matt Riddle fights.

Matt is an idiot and seems kind of bratty, but he has a few decent points today.

CM Punk has a message for Riddle.

Let's look at the awesome technique of Matt Riddle.

matt isn't an amazing fighter and he had to expect this was coming but he makes very vaild points about the direction of the ufc, giving more slack to guys who brawl, and the fans becoming more educated although we're not there yet

I would say, well, here's the thing, 3-3.5 grams sounds about right, but I smoke some hash, too. So maybe I only smoke a gram and a half of weed, but I also smoke a gram of hash, so it might equal out to somewhere in that neighborhood. With the kids, you know my family has grown, I really don't have as much time to roast a bone, or smoke a bunch of bowls. Sometimes, a quick dab will have to do ya.

I think one thing that might have contributed to it is that I don't have trouble making weight any more. I used to almost die making weight, so I'd have to really sweat to get the weight off. Now, I'm on weight well in advance, and I'm thinking that maybe I'm not sweating some of that stuff out. My body isn't flushing it like before. That was on two weeks notice. This time it was three weeks, and I just find it so hard to see how I failed it this time. I know in the future, I'm just gonna have to quit about five weeks out. I would say four, but I'm afraid that might be cutting it too close.
