During the match, Riddle and Rollins quickly learned that &#8220;DC&#8221; isn&#8217;t to be played with. At one point, both men shoved Cormier out of the way and the former two-division UFC champion pushed back at both men and got in their faces to let them know he was the law.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Riddle won the match as he had Rollins locked in a triangle choke and forced him to tap out.
