"This is the thing about Dana White, even when I met him [on The Ultimate Fighter], he wasn't like the greatest human being ever. He was my boss. When anybody asks, 'what's he like?'

Riddle was a part of UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter 7" and even fought on the finale show where he fought fellow cast member Dante Rivera. Riddle would then spend five years with the UFC, amassing a 7-3 record with two no contests. He would move on to be a wrestler starting in 2014.

You can listen to the podcast in the video above. The segment with Riddle starts around 49:30 mark. "The List & Ya Boy" with Sean Ross Sapp and Fightful owner Jimmy Van is live on Fightful and on YouTube every Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET.
