This is actually closer than what people seem to think. Riddick is an Alpha Furyan, who have "strength, speed, agility, senses, healing, and durability far superior to normal Furyans, even at infancy.". A regular Furyan is stated to be "impressive physical specimens; they are stronger, faster, tougher, more resistant to damage and injury, possess acute senses, immense stamina, and recover quicker than most of the other Human races." So Riddick is apart of a practically superhuman race and his abilities are greater than even theirs'. With that said, Riddick is probably very close to Blade's level physically.
Blade is most likely superior in outright skill when compared to Riddick. But Riddick is proven to be a very adept brawler and does have skills with bladed weaponry. At the very least he'd be able to give Blade a challenge in a full on fight. I also personally believe that Riddick is more brutal overall.
I say 5/10 either way. Blade's skill might allow him to get the upper hand if he can keep Riddick in the open, but Riddick has proven to be extremely cunning, resourceful and an expert at stealth. This battle is taking place in a toy factory. Riddick has more than enough to hide or engineer a trap. The only weaknesses that can be taken advantage of are Riddick's sensitivity to light and Blade's thirst. The battle takes place at night and as such, Riddick isn't going to have to worry about being blinded. Because of that, this weakness can't really be taken advantaged of or noticed. Blade's thirst is something else. While he starts off stable, fighting Riddick is going to put a lot of stress on Blade's body. That means that his thirst is liable to comeback faster as his body is going to start demanding blood to help heal or sustain itself. If Riddick notices any sign that Blade is weakening due to a prolonged battle, he'll either move in for the kill or hide and wait for Blade to weaken further. It's still possible though that Blade won't let things go on that long.
