10:24 AM ET 02.10 | Matt Riddle is pretty high on the usage of marijuana. The UFC fighter joked in an internet radio interview this week that weed "probably keeps me from beating my three kids." Riddle further ridiculed the state athletic commission rule that treats pot like a performance-enhancing drug. The welterweight was suspended in October for 90 days for testing positive for marijuana metabolites. "I've been smoking weed since I was 13 and look at me," Riddle said on "The Verbal Submission" (via MMA Mania). "I'm in the UFC and I smash people with a smile on my face. It's not a performance-enhancing drug. It makes me relax. It makes me happy. Honestly, it probably keeps me from beating my three kids because they're always screaming and crying at me and my wife's crazy and you know what life's like. It's hard sometimes and honestly, I like to go to my game room and rip a tube and just sit back and relax and enjoy a 20-minute show, go out, see my family, take care of everything I have to take care of, and that's what I do. A lot of people think it's okay to drink a fifth of jack and beat their wife. I don't."
