Five Times UFC Fights Ended In DQ

#4 Matt Riddle vs Greg Soto - UFC 111 (March 27, 2010)

Matt Riddle is upset after receiving an illegal up kick

Matt Riddle is currently wrestling for WWE's NXT brand. Prior to that, he was a semi-successful MMA fighter in the UFC. Back at UFC 111, he was looking to bounce back from his first career loss to Nick Osipczak at UFC 105 four months earlier.

Although he would receive another notch in the win column, he was not happy with the manner of his "victory" and for good reason.

As Riddle escaped from Greg Soto's guard, Soto smashed him with a vicious up kick that put Riddle out. The problem being that Riddle was on his knees. As doctors attended Riddle, the youngster had no memory of what had happened. That was enough for them to stop the fight and the decision was made to disqualify Soto.

A deeply unsatisfactory way to end what had been an entertaining bout but the powers that be upheld the UFC's rules admirably here.
