My money’s on Riddle, but ya never know. Dante has a mental edge, more polished BJJ, but physically is the smaller, weaker wrestler & striker, and older fighter. Riddle’s been training six hours a day, six days a week with the new team. Dante claims to always fight and train the same. If this is the case, I think he’s in for a tough night.

Yeah, Riddle has been training at Arizona Combat Sports so I think we will see a much more improved Matt Riddle. Not that he was bad or anything but just imagine the training he’s got in the 6 weeks of being at the house then going to a bigger camp after the show.

I am confirming this. I know riddle and he’s been preparing for this fight since he got back.

If Riddle fights the way we’ve seen him fight then he will most definitely beat Dante.

We’ll see how it goes though, experience has a way of making “sure fire wins” into “dissapointing losses”.

I am amped about this fight. Of the fights on TUF this season, Riddle’s performance was great. Although he lost, I think he had that “something” that defines potential.

Methinks Dante is in for a long night unless he can force this to the ground and submit “chipper”.
