An old video of UFC President Dana White has been doing the rounds on Twitter after WWE released Matt Riddle.
Before moving into the world of professional wrestling in 2014, Riddle was best known for his time in the UFC. He had a record of eight wins, two losses, and a couple of no-contests. However, he parted ways with the company in 2013 after a short stint due to some disagreements between both parties.
The video featured Dana White speaking to reporters about why the UFC released Matt Riddle. White had some scathing remarks about the star's unprofessional behavior. Dana mentioned that Matt had to pass three drug tests a year in the UFC but could not even do that due to his personal issues with marijuana.
"The reason he's not in the UFC anymore is because he could not pass a drug test. The guy couldn't pass a drug test. Think about this, you have to go to work three times a year, and you couldn't pass a drug test? You're so weak-minded and so addicted to marijuana, that you couldn't stay off it to pass a drug test three times a year. Well, guess what dummy, they drug test in the real world too," said White.
