At least one major MMA promotion wants to bring former fighter Matt Riddle back to the sport in the near future.
Riddle has been under fire recently, especially due to his recent incident at JFK airport on the way back from Superstar Spectacle in India.
In the last few days, many talent have been released from their WWE contract including the likes of Mustafa Ali and Dolph Ziggler, which surprised many fans. On Friday, Matt Riddle was also let go from the promotion.
Per Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, at least one major MMA promotion is interested in signing Riddle.
“I do know that Riddle has got at least one major MMA promotion, if not more, that are interested in bringing him back to MMA.”
