UFC is not the only MMA or jiu-jitsu promotion, there are some big ones and some small ones - you might have heard of Pride for example, but not heard of a local promotion near where I live, you know? Within roughly two years, Matt Riddle's wrestling accomplishments have been bigger than what most wrestlers accomplish in 10-15 years. With WWE being so interested in the independent wrestling scene and with wrestling taking more MMA influence - AND with Ronda Rousey appearing on Wrestlemania a year or so ago - it's not a huge claim to say Matt might end up there soon enough. He might end up in a company bigger than UFC, and then Dana will feel like even more of an idiot.

Absolute lie by Dana here saying Riddle was making 152k a year. He realizes the Athletic Commission releases their salaries right? At UFC 143, which was in 2012, Riddle was paid 15k to show and 15k for winning. So if he didn't fight at all that year, but was paid for 3 fight shows, he would have made 45k. Even if you tack on his win bonuses, which I'm guessing the UFC doesn't do, it doesn't come close to 152k a year.

Saying that "you only have to go to work 3 times a year" - is totally ridiculous, and shows how far removed he is from the athletes. Even a mediocre mma fighter is forced to train 6-7 days a week in order to be able to compete in those 3 fights a year, so it's a lot misleading that he propagates the idea that being a fighter in the UFC only requires you to 'go to work 3 times a year'. With a multitude of corporate sponsorships, PPV, TV, gate revenue, and especially FoxSports being involved, Dana and Zuffa are raking in a phenomenal amount of royalties vastly inproportionate to what they pay the fighters. No matter that Matt's communication skills are sophmoric, Zuffa is raping these guys who are forced to train and prepare like no other sport in the world. The amount of effort required to even be on half of the level of a Matt Riddle is seriously unrecognized, and it's a shame that he and most top level mma fighters, with their short-lived careers and serious injury risks, are not compensated more comparatively with the amount of revenue they actually generate for Zuffa.

He doesn't get paid to train. In most other jobs you have to go to school get good grades, go to university, get a degree and all this other stuff. You don't need to do any of this in mma, just a few months of training before every fight.
@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights10 жыл бұрын
Alex Mallinson The point is that Dana is insuating that they are paid enormous sums of money just to "go to work 3 times a year". To say that in mma, it's an easy deal because you are not required to have 4 years of schooling, is absolutely assinine. I will guarantee you, the average UFC fighter puts in more hours of work and preparation in 1 year, than a college student has to in all 4 years of his 'training' (i.e., schooling). And in other jobs, when you do go to school and get that degree, you usually are compensated with a salary commensurate with the effort that it took to get that job. Furthermore, in a normal job, you are not putting your entire career at risk everytime you step into the office. Most regular jobs also have a longevity of more than 5 years. The only reason Zuffa and Dana rake in the cash from sponsors like Zuffa, Fox, Fuel, FX, Pay Per View, Xyience, Rockstar, Budlight, SEC, Dodge, MetroPCS, US Marines, EA, Tapout, UbiSoft, MusclePharm, and Harley Davidson is because they have fighters who do train 7 days a week. How successful would the UFC be if they had fighters who literally only went to their 3 fights a year and didn't train for it? The training improves the product that the UFC sells and provides Zuffa with the ability to make the revenue that they do.

lonewolf9202 to be fair weed stays in your system for 30+ days and hard drugs and alcohol only stays for 3 days(our bodies reject poison). Increasing the amount of thc metabolites allowed helped but it still seems as though some Athletic commissions that aren't as lenient as Nevada could have a fighter who used a month prior to in competition testing and still test positive and get fined and whatever else. They need to monitor the metabolite levels from in and out of competition testing to see whether the levels have increased or decreased determining if they used after their out of competition testing. I don't know the logistics of how the testing is so maybe this wouldn't work.

Has it took extreme pressure, multiple incidents and media attention for them to finally do something about the rampant steroid abuse in UFC.. Yes. They have been all over marijuana for years now. So yeah my statement is still valid. Its taken them how long to get it sorted. What date did USADA start working with the UFC? Before the Brock vs Hunt fight or after?

UFC is not the only MMA or jiu-jitsu promotion, there are some big ones and some small ones - you might have heard of Pride for example, but not heard of a local promotion near where I live, you know? Within roughly two years, Matt Riddle's wrestling accomplishments have been bigger than what most wrestlers accomplish in 10-15 years. With WWE being so interested in the independent wrestling scene and with wrestling taking more MMA influence - AND with Ronda Rousey appearing on Wrestlemania a year or so ago - it's not a huge claim to say Matt might end up there soon enough. He might end up in a company bigger than UFC, and then Dana will feel like even more of an idiot.
Wait a minute, why end the video there... lets hear the other side dammit!

Because Jon Jones is a huge draw. Riddle is a nobody who couldn't fight.

Now WWE got rid of him
Dana White was right about Matt Riddle. Released from the WWE.
Wow! That is the first Dana White rant ive witnessed where he did not swear once!!...I`ll be totally honest im impressed!!!
Dana got his revenge
10 years later to the day and he's about to be fired from WWE
“He couldn’t pass a drug test” *the whole UFC roster using steroids*
If whole roster really was they wouldn't have as many fighters as they do
@@celticluna1691 the dumbest thing I ever read.
You can use steroids all you want good technique and good defense is the only thing you need to stay ahead in combat sports.
@@celticluna1691 you really dont understand how sports work then. The top guys are all on drugs but they will never get caught.
Man this aged well just as Matt is about to be released by WWE 🤣
He got released now nobody wants him not even tony though I’m sure he will be fine wit the money he made in the wwe
"apologies for sound from dana, guess he was recording from inside an oil drum"
Look at where Matt Riddle is now, he's signed to the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, He's doing just fine without the UFC Dana.
Jake Selig he’s doing better
@Walt Clyde what is the point are you trying to make?
@Walt Clyde Social Media numbers will tell you what's more popular WWE or UFC
@Walt Clyde Still getting paid more in the wwe then in ufc.
How are his wife and kids doing?
I love how poorly this aged. Riddle a focal point in another promotion while White is fueding with Jake Paul
Loopllllll
Focal point? That's cap.
dana can buy riddle bloodline.
So now I’m currently here after Matt Riddle debuted on Smackdown

Then Matt Riddle became a big wrestling star
Because of him being in ufc previously
@@gmont28 nope he isn't known for being a MMA guy he went to independent wrestling circuits and had great matches

@@gmont28 anymore? WWE never cared about the indies, nor they should. indy stars don't wanna retire in the indies, where 50K-100K people watch them regularly. indy stars wanna join WWE and make real money, that's the harsh reality for smarks like u.
@@f-22fighterjet84 im just saying it the way it is. They mainly care about him being a former mma fighter end of story
If he smokes Marijuana to not beat his wife maybe you should try Marijuana too Dana.
And now, Matt Riddle is one of the most "over" wrestlers in NXT. I'm sure he's glad that his MMA days are behind him.
He was "over" for about 5 mjns
@@jamgooandyou He was over the whole time in NXT but the main roster has absolutely no idea how to use him.
@@JerseyJeff84 false, he was hyped up loads but lost in a crowd of actual talent in NXT it was only the mma fanboys who said he was "over"
@@jamgooandyou Nah bro, I completely disagree with you and that's the beauty of having our own opinions. Just go back and watch some of his stuff against Dream, Dunne, Adam Cole, those matches were off the charts for a guy who was considered an outsider(i.e. celebs, sports players etc that try coming into sports entertainment.)
lmao he did nothing noteworthy in NXT. he fought for all the major titles there and lost all his matches, and was given by far the shittiest NXT tag title reign ever. Now on Raw he's the US champion and one of Vince's favorite mid carders.
And then the company who owns UFC buys WWE …Riddle gets cut and they say “he got too many chances” sound familiar??… if anyone wanna know .. this is my opinion on why Riddle was cut from WWE shortly after the takeover was complete.. Dana white pulled some strings the too many chances is too coincidental
He got suspended months ago for the same thing Dana was talking about. This was BEFORE we even heard the idea of merging. It was right after Randy Orton was injured
He always looks as high as a friken kite on Television
….and look where Matt is now…Monday Night Raw and wrestles almost every week
Yea Monday night raw that's run by company that can't pull over 500,000 views a week

@@e.jordan9784 5 million people watch WWE every week on network TV what's UFC pay-per-view buy rates and fight night numbers
Absolute lie by Dana here saying Riddle was making 152k a year. He realizes the Athletic Commission releases their salaries right? At UFC 143, which was in 2012, Riddle was paid 15k to show and 15k for winning. So if he didn't fight at all that year, but was paid for 3 fight shows, he would have made 45k. Even if you tack on his win bonuses, which I'm guessing the UFC doesn't do, it doesn't come close to 152k a year.
Dana twisting numbers again,he is so full of shit
Some have guaranteed money not included in their contact.
@@maximummomo8210 someome fighting on PRELIMS wouldnt have guaranteed money in their contract.
I would imagine you forgetting about the downside Guarantee in the contacts. Yes UFC/MMA would have those.
The most hilarious part is now he's making more then what Dana said in the video
MAtthew riddle is in EVOLVE regulators MOUNT UP!
...BRO
Bro..

Look whose laughing now, Riddle is in WWE. You make fun of it all you want but he's making that good money now.
He is a jobber who will never be great.
Debuting on raw tonight
Nxt just got a tv deal and he's most certainly not a jobber.
The jobber still gets paid more. >.>
He beats his wife
$162k is nothing considering taxes then come out of that
I love how Dana's mood here starting from normal tone then goes to being himself while speaking about riddle 🤣
That awkward moment when you forget how many days are in a year.
Dana meant work 325 days a year. Imaginr working 365 days a year.
Imagine working 25/8 366 days per year
160.000 a year thats riddle monthly paycheck now
now riddle is a star on monday night raw and makes reportedly around $400,000 a year. nice speech dana
He’s definitely going to make more when he gets a new contract.
@@youreokayboah2128 yup, new contract will be even bigger since he is getting the push with being tag teamed with Randy.
if marijuana is illegal so should be alcohol. It has nothing to do with performance. and lets be honest here, when you say marijuana is a drug, put a "*" after the word drug.
Marijuana is a drug, it's an addictive substance and if it wasn't then Riddle could have gone 3/12 months a year without it in order to pass a drug test. Not to mention if it wasn't a drug, he wouldn't be such a fiend that his dependency on the substance causes him to lash out against his family.
Nope.
silentc22 he said he smoked because he doesn’t do drugs you know pills. And he never did anything to hurt his family he’s sayin pills have effects that make you lash out. Your reason for it being a drug you sound dumb
It increases pain tolerance so obviously it should be banned
@@hib6076 Not to a degree where it would give you a significant advantage. Alcohol really increases pain tolerance, should that be banned?
Yeah Dana fired him 😂
Somebody here after Riddle release from wwe?

Saying that "you only have to go to work 3 times a year" - is totally ridiculous, and shows how far removed he is from the athletes. Even a mediocre mma fighter is forced to train 6-7 days a week in order to be able to compete in those 3 fights a year, so it's a lot misleading that he propagates the idea that being a fighter in the UFC only requires you to 'go to work 3 times a year'. With a multitude of corporate sponsorships, PPV, TV, gate revenue, and especially FoxSports being involved, Dana and Zuffa are raking in a phenomenal amount of royalties vastly inproportionate to what they pay the fighters. No matter that Matt's communication skills are sophmoric, Zuffa is raping these guys who are forced to train and prepare like no other sport in the world. The amount of effort required to even be on half of the level of a Matt Riddle is seriously unrecognized, and it's a shame that he and most top level mma fighters, with their short-lived careers and serious injury risks, are not compensated more comparatively with the amount of revenue they actually generate for Zuffa.
i think he means actual work for the ufc, meaning the actual fights, thats what there paid for, there not getting paid to train
He doesn't get paid to train. In most other jobs you have to go to school get good grades, go to university, get a degree and all this other stuff. You don't need to do any of this in mma, just a few months of training before every fight.
Alex Mallinson The point is that Dana is insuating that they are paid enormous sums of money just to "go to work 3 times a year". To say that in mma, it's an easy deal because you are not required to have 4 years of schooling, is absolutely assinine. I will guarantee you, the average UFC fighter puts in more hours of work and preparation in 1 year, than a college student has to in all 4 years of his 'training' (i.e., schooling). And in other jobs, when you do go to school and get that degree, you usually are compensated with a salary commensurate with the effort that it took to get that job. Furthermore, in a normal job, you are not putting your entire career at risk everytime you step into the office. Most regular jobs also have a longevity of more than 5 years. The only reason Zuffa and Dana rake in the cash from sponsors like Zuffa, Fox, Fuel, FX, Pay Per View, Xyience, Rockstar, Budlight, SEC, Dodge, MetroPCS, US Marines, EA, Tapout, UbiSoft, MusclePharm, and Harley Davidson is because they have fighters who do train 7 days a week. How successful would the UFC be if they had fighters who literally only went to their 3 fights a year and didn't train for it? The training improves the product that the UFC sells and provides Zuffa with the ability to make the revenue that they do.
lastuvthe But even if he doesn't fight 3 times a year he gets paid. You do jobs like this because you love it. The majority of the fighters aren't complaining...
lastuvthe Dana meant that he would have only been drug tested 3 times at most a year when he showed up to "work" Obviously he knows they train fulltime, stop letting your jealousy/hatred for DW twist his words
my my how the turn tables
Game, set, match. Game over. End of game.
And now he’s in the WWE so I guess he gonna make that 100,000 soon
@Walt Clyde Hes making more than that lol a developmental Contract Starts with 250k in The WWE lol what are you stupid even a jobber in the WWE makes more than what Riddle was making in the UFC.
@Walt Clyde yes he is making that much more money now specially after altercation with BROCK LESNAR and GOLDBERG at backstage
Funny because Matt Riddle became one of the hottest independent wrestlers in the world...
@Walt Clyde you wanna take a bump in that ring and say it's fake, pre determined, scripted those are the words to look for
Best bit is Chael ending with "..that's something you don't see here, we always give both sides of the story" after closing interview showing ONE SIDE, Dans's side only. Yes you get both sides, the official UFC PR position and the CEO's slanderous rant side.

Watching this now after the Jon Jones fiasco make Dana White's comments even more ironic.
Welcome to 2020 where marijuana is legal and everyone is smoking it and also Riddle is a star in NXT
Looks like riddle proved you wrong Dana
This is funny to watch in light of whats happened with Jones.. I suppose you could argue that it's different with Jones as he's the number one P4P fighter and LHW champion but thats still a double standard.
exsctly , ass-backwards
difference is jones was tested out of competition for street drugs (he can actually sue the NSAC) this fool couldn't stay clean for fight night
***** Out of competition is considered more than 12 hours before a fight. The same rules apply to everyone no matter how stupid it is. only idiots can't stay clean 12 hours before their fight.They defamed him by testing for a drug they shouldn't have at that time. People don't get charged for cocaine in their system dummy, the charge is possession.
lonewolf9202 to be fair weed stays in your system for 30+ days and hard drugs and alcohol only stays for 3 days(our bodies reject poison). Increasing the amount of thc metabolites allowed helped but it still seems as though some Athletic commissions that aren't as lenient as Nevada could have a fighter who used a month prior to in competition testing and still test positive and get fined and whatever else. They need to monitor the metabolite levels from in and out of competition testing to see whether the levels have increased or decreased determining if they used after their out of competition testing. I don't know the logistics of how the testing is so maybe this wouldn't work.
Riddle just signed recently for 400k a year + a 50k bonus for Saudi shows with the WWE. Dana robs his fighters.
From 162k a year in UFC to 400K a year In WWE isn't a bad raise. Plus he gets 50k for every Saudi appearance. That's not to mention PPV and merchandising.
Riddle is one of my favorites💯
He’s also one of the most popular wrestlers in the brand. Teaming up with Randy Orton and winning the gold.
