Jeremiah Riggs (born December 12, 1982) is an American professional wrestler, mixed martial artist and bare-knuckle boxer, currently competing in the middleweight division in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

[2] Upon graduating from college Riggs signed up with the United States Army and served a tour in Afghanistan with the 1st Ranger Battalion.

After filming on TUF Riggs moved to Granite City, Illinois to train with Matt Hughes at The HIT Squad.

[8] On March 16, 2012, Riggs officially came out of retirement at Bellator 61 in Bossier City, Louisiana to fight Trey Houston in a "Middleweight Tournament Qualifier".

In 2015 Riggs walked away from MMA and pursued a career in bull riding, competing on small circuits in the midwest and southeast United States.

[12] However, Riggs was released after being informed that WWE had no interest in signing him following the tryout in FCW after rubbing officials and other wrestlers the wrong way.

[14] Riggs faced Connor Tierney at BKFC Fight Night: New York 2 on March 12, 2022 and lost by knockout in the fifth round.

[15] Riggs faced Billy Wagner at BKFC Fight Night: Jackson 2 on June 11, 2022 and lost by knockout due to an ankle injury in the first round.

Riggs clearly was holding onto Alfredo's hair throughout the match, only releasing Angulo's braid when the referee was on the same side as the illegal grip.
