Matt Riddle Headed To Bellator

Former UFC welterweight Matt Riddle recently announced that he would be heading to Legacy Fighting Championships to continue fighting. However, it is now being reported that Riddle will not go to to Legacy FC, but will head to Bellator MMA instead. It’s no secret that Riddle left the UFC under bad terms after testing positive for marijuana twice in 6 months, but according to reports and rumors Bellator is looking to fill a slot in a welterweight tournament left open by Paul Daley who can’t get into the country because of legal trouble of his own in England.

Inside MMA reported:

BREAKING NEWS – Matt Riddle is leaving @legacyfighting for @BellatorMMA details of contracts are being hammered out.
