Matt Riddle vs Nathan Coy
That’s what I was hoping for… Thanks Pat!
Riddle wanted a fight before end of 2013 but Nathan Coy was probably not what he wanted!
Wait… Did MFC lose another welterweight champ to bellator?
Well-loved!

No problem Cody, so many people under estimate just how good Matt Riddle is. His wrestling is top notch and he is a brown belt under Drysdale mix that in with his love to stand and brawl, he is solid every where the fight goes.
Not taking anything away from Coy in fact I put the deal together with the MFC, Coy is a scary fighter when he is on his game. This should be a great fight.
Added Alexander Shlemenko vs. Doug Marshall for MW Title, Moved Alexander Volkov vs. Vitaly Minakov for HW Title to Bellator 108
Added Rick Hawn vs. Ron Keslar in Welterweight Tournament Finals as well as full preliminary card
Matt Riddle out due to undisclosed reasons, Bellator has opted to cut ties and release Riddle from his contract, Nathan Coy will be rescheduled for a later event!
@Pat Wilson… are you able to shed any light on the reasons for Riddle’s withdrawal and release?
FUCK THATS AN EASY ONE , HE CANT PISS CLEAN . I BET YA !!
Riddle said his ribs are hurt but really he’s been flaky and fighting with Bellitor sinse he signed with them. I think they just had enough myself? Super talanted but man he’s gota fight soon as he’s only getting older…
@Cody unfortunately I can’t get into details on why the release. I can say I’m disappointed with it but Bellator has been great to deal with throughout the entire time Matt had signed on with them.
@BOOBOO 100% Matt would have pissed clean there was never any worries there.
@PUCK Matts ribs were cracked pretty bad to the point he couldn’t move. I guess we’ll see what happens next for Matt.
