"He's got to turn into a different kind of human to beat me. I don't think that is humanely possible."

Showing off his gift for the gab, Credeur leaves us with a little Louisiana spice,

"Laissez les bon temps roulez" (Let the good times roll).

FIGHT DAY

Matt Riddle (1-0) vs Tim Credeur (10-2)

Credeur enters the cage second. He tries one last psyche on Riddle by letting loose some guttural howls in Riddle's direction.

Round 1

Riddle goes for a single-leg take down. He misses, but gets Credeur's back and takes him down that way. Riddle stays on Tim's back while on the mat and they both begin to cautiously feel one another out.

After about 30 seconds, Credeur escapes and they're back on their feet. Credeur fires a couple of low kicks that land. Creduer shoots, but Riddle flips behind him and takes Credeur down.

They're up again pretty quickly before Credeur rushes Riddle again and this time takes him down. Riddle escapes and momentarily they're up again.

Credeur once again takes Riddle to the mat, but Riddle hangs on to Credeur's neck. Credeur picks Riddle up slightly and slams him down into the cage.

As Credeur tries to gain control of his mount, Riddle up-kicks him hard in the face (seemed illegal, but there are no protests). Riddle scrambles underneath Credeur while the Jiu-Jitsu black belt tries some hammerfists.

Riddle gets Credeur's back. They both roll, and Credeur goes for an ankle lock. Riddle punches his way out and mounts Credeur, who quickly reverses it and ends up in the top position.

Credeur finally gains some control and starts to methodically work his ground and pound. His punches begin to gain accuracy and Riddle for the first time seems to be hurt. A few heavy forearms and flush punches and soon Credeur has Riddle's back. He goes for a rear naked choke, but the clock runs out and Riddle is saved by the bell.

Credeur wins Round 1 by gaining control late in the round.

As he returns to his corner, Credeur seems emboldened. Riddle looks worse for the wear and has blood streaming down one of his nostrils.

Someone from TEAM RAMPAGE yells out encouragingly,

"Riddle, that's all he's got, he's got nothing left."

Credeur shouts back,

"I got plenty left!"

Round 2

Riddle tries a high kick, misses, and shoots in. He takes Credeur down, Credeur look more in control as he goes for Riddle's ankle again. Riddle escapes, but Credeur is able to gain top position.
