Riddle: I wouldn’t come back to the UFC even if they asked

The events of the past few weeks have soured the fighter’s view of the UFC, to point where he wouldn’t be overly disappointed if he was never invited back.
“Honestly, I would be fine with that,” Riddle admitted. “I’ve already done a decent amount of damage in the UFC, you know, with fighting and having fun there, making a good amount of money. I’m 27, just hitting my stride.”
Most surprisingly, though, Riddle said he may even reject the UFC’s offer if it comes in the future.
“What I see happening is, a year or two from now the UFC calls me back after I’ve won probably like five or six fights, hopefully. And I’ll probably, at the time, say, ‘No.’ Because I really don’t like the direction they’re taking the company. They’re firing high-level talent so they can have lower level talent just scrap, and they’d rather have a brawl than a good technical fight. I think that’s going to be their downfall, because the fans are getting more educated. They’re getting smarter, and they don’t want to just see a slugfest and two retarded guys with brain damage bleeding everywhere.
