Background
Born and raised in Ontario, Canada, Clements trained in boxing and later martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do before turning his focus to a professional MMA career.
Early career
Clements made his professional MMA debut in June 2005, and fought primarily in his native Canada. In Clements' third fight, opponent Lautaro Tucas charged across the ring at the opening bell with his hands down and was knocked completely out by a right hand from Clements, who had time to deliver a few punches to Tucas' unconscious body before the referee stopped the fight at 3 seconds of the first round, setting a record for the fastest knockout in MMA history. Clements amassed a record of 10-4 with knockout wins over UFC veterans Rich Clementi and Jonathan Goulet before joining the UFC himself in 2012.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Clements made his UFC debut against Keith Wisniewski on April 21, 2012 at UFC 145. He won the fight via split decision.

However, on October 20, 2012, it was revealed that Riddle has tested positive for a banned substance (Marijuana) and the result was overturned and changed to a No Contest.
