Former UFC welterweight Matt Riddle is now a pro wrestler rising through the ranks, and he believes he is much better suited for the squared circle.

Matt Riddle is making the most of his pro wrestling career. The former UFC welterweight was released from the organization a few years ago due to multiple positive tests for marijuana, and eventually left the sport altogether to jump into something that seems to be a better fit for him - the squared circle. In a fascinating piece by MMA Fighting's Chuck Mindenhall, Riddle discusses his new career at length and gives some insight as to why he ultimately decided to leave fighting behind:

If you read the article in the OP, Riddle wasn't upset about beating people up, he was upset that by beating people, they lost their jobs and financial security.
I felt bad beating people. Like, when I beat Che Mills, I felt bad. Dude has a wife, dude has a kid, he just got fired from the UFC because I beat him and he got half his money. I have three kids, I need to eat the same as anybody, but I felt bad.

What's wrong with people giving her compliments? She's bruised up from a legal fight, not spousal abuse. It would be out of line to make such comments to pictures of that, but not here. The bruises look bad, but you can still see that she's a pretty woman.
