Anyone Giving Bader a Chance?

[The Taxman]

Davis beat Bader in wrestling in college years ago and I think he's more athletic than Bader.

Davis beat Machida who KO'd Bader.

Well, jeez. You can't argue with any of that logic

 

[MajJamil]

Has a chance but I feel Phil will outgrapple him

 

[egk]

nah

Davis's striking was on the same level as Vinnie. Pretty damned bad unless he's improved a ton.

 

[qw3rty]

Mr Wondferful via "whatever he wants" choke

 

[Lunkee]

ofc! Bader almost KO Glover, so yeah he absolutely has a chance against Davis!

 

[Da Speeink]

Davis's striking was on the same level as Vinnie. Pretty damned bad unless he's improved a ton.

Except it wasn't, which is why you know, he won that fight.

 

[orangecuse]

Yeah, why wouldn't people give him a chance?

 

[jjresq]

ofc! Bader almost KO Glover, so yeah he absolutely has a chance against Davis!

but Phil completely dominated Glover

barely won the fight against a guy with no striking at all. He did hardly any damage which is What Davis usually accomplishes with his striking.

Why are you talking about a fight you've never seen? That fight was boring as shit, but it was in no way shape or form close.

Not true. For starters, Davis actually has a good chin/defense. He's pretty good at throwing a few strikes to set up the takedown.

I wouldn't say either guy has "way better striking" than the other one. Bader has a significant power advantage, but that's the only thing that's significantly better than the other one.

If he can keep it standing then the fight favours Bader. He's better then Davis everywhere and he's got the wrestling to back it up.

Phil completely outclassed Vinny during that fight

 

[Tsar]

I think their wrestling will cancel each other's out, and since Bader actually has some striking, I'm giving him a huge chance to win this.

and he has better power. i think bader may surprise people, but davis is game.

But that's like comparing bad to really bad

 

[TASTEofmySCYTHE]

I'm honestly having a ton of trouble picking a winner here.

 

[Toxxus]

Bader by cooler tattoo.

 

[faustian]

I've got Bader via axe kick in the 3rd

The power advantage is what makes his striking significantly better than Davis, in my opinion.

I hope Ryan smokes him but I look for Davis to do his best to slow everything down. Two wrestlers though, could end up being decided by the striking. If so, I favor Bader.
