Below are some highlights, and you can check out the entire interview at this link:
Being Fired 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,” Riddle explained. “I couldn’t believe it because a week earlier, Dana White said he would never fire anyone if they were on a winning streak.”
Riddle said:
“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.”
Transitioning from MMA to Pro Wrestling:
“The transition for me has been pretty easy and everybody is extremely helpful and nice,” said Riddle. “It’s a little different than MMA because most times, people are just trying to knock you out instead of helping you better.”
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.”
Riddle also talks about how he got into MMA, his favorite part about wrestling, and more.
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
