UFC President Dana White recently stated that he has no regrets in releasing Matt Riddle from his company. He said:
āNo, listen, I have no [regrets]. You know, Iāve heard interviews with Matt Riddle and heās very fired up about being let go and everything. But at that place and that time where we were, it was the right move. But Iām happy for him, Iām happy heās been successful and is doing well and I donāt wish the kid any ill will. I donāt hate Matt Riddle or dislike Matt Riddle in any way. I know he feels the oppositeā¦as he should. But yeah, I donāt wish him any ill will or anything like that. I donāt regret the decision I made at that time.ā
Riddle has since replied to Dana on social media:
āDana Iām not mad that you fired me Iām mad because youāre a heartless moron with to much money and power and felt the need to call me a loser after you fired me when I was on a 4 fight win streak and had my 3rd child almost bankrupting me. Also to say it was the right call to fire me is the dumbest thing ever, you literally tried to ruin my career/life because your a little bald bitch that couldnāt control me, so stop lying itās sad broā
