The chill grappler known for fighting barefoot and winning big is one of MLW’s most popular and explosive fighters.
Leaving the UFC on a 4-fight winning streak, Matt Riddle made a seamless transition to pro wrestling, enjoying success unlike any other athlete has to date; winning the 2016 Wrestling Observer Rookie of the Year award.
Quickly ascending to main event status around the world, the “King of Bros” brings his MMA mindset to another combat sport that has a tendency to be unpredictable and more dangerous.
But don’t be fooled by Riddle’s laid back surfer dude demeanor – Riddle is very much an alpha type fighter with a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu to back it up.
In 2018, Riddle danced with destiny, dominating the World Heavyweight Championship tournament, exiting in the finals in a championship bout that could’ve gone either way.
Having won championships around the world, Riddle now returns to MLW with his eyes sets his sights on climbing MLW’s top 10. Will the “King of Bros” be anointed numero uno in MLW? Only time will tell, bro.
