DOESN’T MATT RIDDLE REMIND YOU OF JUNIE
Only a little bit. Riddle is slightly more mature, and Juni looks less like a chipmunk. Also, Juni would “remind us” of Riddle, as Riddle was on the show first…but thats kind of a toma(y)to toma(h)to kind of thing.
i like this guy he just seems so happy to be fighting in the ufc, also that knock out still pleases me when ever i see it!
juni is a jackass turd. riddle is just always happy and bright…..ive been waiting for riddle to return…he is gonna be a contender
I HOPE YOUR RIGHT GUNSLINGER.. I LIKE RIDDLE… I CAN’T REMEMBER HIM LOSING IN TUF. WHO DID HE LOSE TO AND HOW?
tim creadur armbared him
i wonder if he has his liscense yet?
i like chipper hes a solid fighter wit some good wrestling as his backround. i only can hope that riddle, amir, cramer these guys who r 1-0 or 2-0 dont get burned by bein thrown right into the ufc wit limited experiance
I really liked Riddle on the show. He showed some power and a willingness to learn.
I liked Riddle on the show as well. Sometimes he was a little annoying, but he seemed like a good kid.
Tim gave the X~Box 360 I believe and also Riddle got his lisence but doesn’t do much driving… I don’t remember. Where I read that or why I know that bs
riddle is exciting thats what the ufc needs plus he can win fights give him a year or two and he will be at the top of 185
