Why did Riddle get released an Jones didn't?

[Origami]

WAR Matt Riddle!!!

 

[SevenDeadlySins]

Star power. Riddle was never going to make waves, only roll joints.

 

[My name is]

Is this a riddle ?

 

[JsinLegacy]

Marijuana is against the rules for use during or out of competition. And he got caught 2 or 3 times.

you mean lines?

 

[psyops]

Riddle wasn't cut because of pot.

He was cut because of a comment he made.

"I smoke weed so I don't beat my kids"

That's why

 

[poorlytoldjoke]

One failed an in competition drug test for a banned substance and one failed an out of competition test for something that isn't banned out of competition?

 

[CageSage]

Well, Riddle is also a terrible MMA fighter. You can't discount that.

 

[roggg]

Other than "drugs" there's not a single similarity between the Riddle situation and the Jones situation. Not sure why anyone would expect a similar outcome.

 

[Crono7]

Remember that fight that Riddle had, where he was basically shadow boxing someone in the cage, yeah that was great

 

[the ax murderer]

Didn't Riddle test positive for it being in his system during the fight?

 

[Reach4theSky]

Riddle wasn't cut because of pot.

He was cut because of a comment he made.

"I smoke weed so I don't beat my kids"

That's why

I'm sure his kids are grateful.

 

[CynicMan]

Riddle wasn't cut because of pot.

He was cut because of a comment he made.

"I smoke weed so I don't beat my kids"

That's why

This, along with the fact that he failed two post fight tests.

 

[Laszlow]

Because reasons

Riddle tested positive post-fight twice for marijuana in the space of a year.

Jones tested positive out-of-competition for cocaine - which isn't a WADA punishable offence - once

Whether you agree with Jones' cocaine use or not, Riddle was in breach of the WADA code, Jones was not.

[Necrocrawler]

Well, Riddle is also a terrible MMA fighter. You can't discount that.

Yeah. He's a terrible 8-3-2NC fighter with 12 fights in the UFC, including his debut (7-3-2NC UFC record). He deserved to be released.

 

[DizzyYeahYeah]

Didn't know about that comment.

 

[Malik111]

One failed an in competition drug test for a banned substance and one failed an out of competition test for something that isn't banned out of competition?

[RJ43]

It probably has something to do with Jones possibly being the best fighter of all time in his prime and Matt Riddle being Matt Riddle. Just a guess.

 

[synyster]

because he is white
