Matt Riddle recently spoke with MMA Junkie and compared wrestling fans to MMA fans; you can read a few highlights below:

“Wrestling fans are like people going to see Shakespeare. They come, they have a favorite character, they’re invested in the story and they know it’s a story. They’re all about how well you play your part, whatever that part is. MMA fans are more like people going to the Coliseum. They don’t care whether you kill the tiger or the tiger kills you. All they know is somebody’s going to die today. That’s how it feels when you’re in the UFC. Nobody gives a (expletive) about you. You could be fighting in your hometown, and if you get knocked out the crowd’s still going to roar.”
