Thoughts on Dana trying to bring Bader back for the HW division?

Helps build the case of Bellator being a retirement home. Bader has nothing left at Bellator in the HW division. Give him Tuivasa.
 
I think he wrestlefucks Tai if he avoids the early bomb as he’s chinny.

Gane, Jones and possibly Lewis shut his lights out.
 
Bader was looking pretty old but idk, I don’t like his chances at LHW now.
 
I love Bader but it wouldn't make a lot of sense to spend the money it would take to bring him back at 39 years old
 
Unless Bader develops a chin, I don't see him surviving UFC heavyweight division unlike fighting old farts like Fedor and Kongo in Bellator
 
As a HW he's looked good, Moldavsky is a legit win.
Aspinall would finish him quick but outside of that he could beat anybody outside of the top 5. Tai also most likely gets wrestled to hell too.

at LHW the cut seems too hard at this point and I'd think he'd struggle.... upon looking at the rankings he'd destroy Smith. Damn UFC is really lacking at LHW and HW.

Bader for sure can be top 5 in either LHW or HW in the UFC.
 
Bader would easily be a top 5 HW in the UFC. He'd best guys like Lewis, Tuivasa and Jarzinho easily.
 
He's probably fighting the winner of Vassel/Moldavsky. The first Moldavsky fight was razor close.

Bader's looked much better at HW than LHW recently, I think the theory of the weight cut draining him and hurting his chin is legit
 
Only if he loses the weight. No way he is standing up to heavyweights in the UFC.
 
No he wouldn't, lol.
If he can stay on his supplements I could see him being a top 5 guy.

Honestly, don't see any of the current Bellator Heavies beating him. Isaev was a nice pickup from PFL but his bottom game is so atrocious that I could see Ryan GnPing him into oblivion.
 
DC would come back for Bader.
 
Easily top 5 at HW or LHW. Has it been long since he fought at LHW? The Bader that left for Bellator would easily be the LHW champ today, but might be a bit too old now. Though it’s not like LHW is made up of explosive strikers, he could just wrestleF them all.
