Started out with Dijak laying out the first strike to Riddle, and that created the dynamic for the rest of the match - Riddle fighting from underneath as Dijak did work on top. Very physical, laid out perfectly & the length was perfect for the story they told. Excellent match. ****

Okay match. These first round matches have been essentially "cram moves into 5 minutes", so Donovan deserves some credit for actually selling a bit. I don't really like these "lift opponent into a convoluted position and then drop him into a knee strike" moves they did a bunch here and Riddle kind of looked like a feeble little kid against Dijak at times, which is the opposite of what you want from your MMA badass.
