Bill Watkins is an ASS! Matt seemed like one of the nicest guys on the show. He fought 2 good BJJ guys on the TUF one brown belt and one black. He got caught after a tough fight with a experienced black belt after a tough couple rounds. His wrestling was awesome I’ve wrestled freestyle and folk style for 15 years I stopped and started coaching 5 years ago. His throws and take downs where excellent consider that he’s taking punches,elbows, fending off submissions etc. What’s your story what makes you a great critic and expert.

Champ in college? I’m looking to get some more info on Matt. Why did he go to ESU and when did he end up leaving?

ALSO to Bill Watkins: You are an ass dude, you don’t matt riddle. He has a reason to be cocky. He was the champ back in high school, he was the champ in college and he’s the champ now. Watch yourself.

yo bill watkins u sound like a big dildo. riddle has kicked my ass around several basements and many other places. he has taught me so much about MMA the sport, and technique. He’s the coolest guy you can meet and one of the funniest mother fuckers out there. With time, more experience, and his personality he can be one of the biggest names in MMA today. Mark my words this comp will not be the last time you hear about Matt “The New York Night Train” Riddle

To Bill Watkins: You sound like the ass to me bro. I train with Matt at the Rat Pack and he is one of the nicest dudes you’ll ever meet. I think you will be impressed in the coming weeks. And he’s not cocky, its just his way of joking. You dont know the guy, so who gives a shit about your opinion.

There is a NAGA event where I live in Va on the 19th. I am planning on going, there are a few of the guys from the gym competing. I will try to get some pics, especially if there is anyone there that is worth seeing or hearing about. Other than the guys at my gym of course!

I’ll try to get some video footage of him at NAGA so you can see his groundwork outside of the cage. He admitted that he needs to work on fighting in the cage, but otherwise he was happy with his performance against a Serra BJJ guy.

This guy Matt sounds like a real ASS! Reading this interview and watching his fight did not impress me or my MMA friends. Matt didn’t show much on the ground and his close clinch work against the cage left something to be desired. The only saving grace was his stand-up. Matt had a good agressive attitude with his striking and his form with that devastating knock out was fantastic. His stiking instructors from the Rat Pack must be gloating.
