Matt Riddle Discusses His UFC Firing, WWE Tryout, More

In an interview with Inquisitr, Matt Riddle spoke about his WWE tryout, getting fired from the UFC and more. Here are highlights:

On being fired from UFC for using marijuana: “I really couldn’t believe, not because I wasn’t in the wrong, if I a drug test that’s on me, I’m the wrong. I couldn’t believe it because a week earlier, Dana White said he would never fire anyone if they were on a winning streak. So when I heard that, I was like okay and I failed a drug test and they fired. The fact is, there are multiple guys in the UFC and there still are that fail drugs tests and they’re losing fights and they didn’t get fired, nothing happened. I know a couple of them were sent to rehab for marijuana or cocaine or whatever they’re doing.”

On moving from MMA to wrestling: “The transition for me has been pretty easy and everybody is extremely helpful and nice. It’s a little different than MMA because most times, people are just trying to knock you out instead of helping you better.”

On his WWE tryout: “I did not sign with WWE, I will say my tryout went well with them and I am looking forward to working with them in the near future.”
