MATTHEW RIDDLE: Alumni Instructor
From June 2007 through April 2008, Rat Pack had the pleasure of having Matthew Riddle as our Monday night instructor and as a member of the Simrell MMA fight Team. During his tenure at
Rat Pack, he captured the 190lb Advanced titles at NAGA's Battle at the Beach (8/07) and Grapplers Quest (10/07) and the Coppa Atlantica BJJ Championships (11/07) and, in between, found time to win his
first MMA match at the Mohegan Sun's "Battle at the Sun II" (9/07) via key lock in the first round.
In January '07 Matthew was selected as one of the cast members on the Spike TV reality series The Ultimate Fighter, Season 7 and on April 9, 2007 he earned his way into the Ultimate
Fighter house with a second round KO of Matt Serra brown belt Dan Simmler which was promptly dubbed "the knockout of the century" by none other than UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton
"Rampage" Jackson.
Currently Matthew is 3-0 in the UFC and when in town Matthew still makes time to come in
to teach and train with the Rat Pack guys.
