Fightful.com's Matt Riddle is dipping his toes into the world of competitive grappling against another pro wrestler.
Riddle revealed on his Thursday Fightful.com Podcast that he is tentatively scheduled to face off with PWG tag team partner Jeff Cobb at Submission Underground 3 in January.
"I'm grappling Jeff Cobb at Submission Underground January 29. That's happening. I haven't agreed on prices or anything, but I imagine they're going to pay us," Riddle said. "They're doing it right. They have an Olympic Wrestler going against an MMA outcast and pro wrestling superstar. There's a lot going on."
Cobb is a former Lucha Underground Champion who performs on the show as Matanza. Cobb represented Guam at the 2004 Summer Olympics as a heavyweight freestyle wrestler.
Riddle fought in the UFC for years, amassing an 8-3 (2 NC) record before stepping away from the sport to focus on pro wrestling. He and Cobb teamed together to defeat the Young Bucks last weekend at PWG Mystery Vortex.
Submission Underground 3 takes place January 29, and will be streamed live by FloSports.
