I see no evidence that baders wrestling is better or more smothering than sonnens. They are about equal. He looks stronger than sonnen, but that doesn't mean he is.
Rumble not known for his wrestling manhandled bader after a failed takedown.He hits a lot harder, he's a lot faster, and much stronger than Chael. Let's not kid ourselves. His entire career has been predicated on him being the best athlete in the cage.

A 227- pound middleweight — yeah, right, ok!
And he never did much at all to Fedor. All the damage came from Fedor. And 40 isn’t exactly ancient; DC is almost 40. Couture was fighting well in his 40s. Romero. Ages mean different things to different people athletically.
Mitiorne punches nothing like fedorBader will out wrestle Fedor, Fedor will be dangerous early on and may be able to get a few escapes and reversals. But I predict he will gas over time, if Bader can avoid Mitriones power shots I believe he can avoid Fedors. Although I hope I'm wrong.
Fedor stares down sizeForgot how big Bader was until he was standing next to Fedor. Seeing Fedya gas in rd 1 which I've never seen before makes me think Bader takes it easy, TKO stoppage rd 2
Chin has faded but fedor,recovery hasn't goneThe part that he lost because of that, yes. But the punch that dropped Fedor did look weak.
