How Would Bader Fare Against UFC Heavyweights?

[Thepaintbucket]

He would be in the top 10 without question.

 

[Willy Knuckles]

I think Tuivasa would KO him.

Based on what ? lol

 

[bartleby929]

he got smoked by corey anderson

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

Top 5.

Beats Derrick Lewis

 

[bartleby929]

top 10 @ HW
top 5 @ LHW

If he got lucky, he might even be able to hold the lhw strap for a minute with Jones gone.

there is not a chance in hell bader could survive the ufc, even the thin lhw division. he has no chin.

You don’t think he could hump Gane to a decision?

Jiri and Jan both KO him. Maybe he gets the belt under some really unusual circumstances, but he wouldn't hold it for long.

Black Beast by KO, within 3 rounds.

No. I think Gane wins a comfortable decision.

 

[SokoudjouFanboy]

Quite well. I think Ngannou is the best by a significant margin but outside of him I think he can beat certain guys and lose to others from 2-10. He'd surprise some naysayers. He's still a great power wrestler with some pop in his hands, good cardio and speed for the division. Chin's the biggest problem but from the limited info we have it looks like it's not as bad at HW as it was at 205 especially towards the end.

Is your name Ed by chance? You sound like an Ed

 

[Willy Knuckles]

No. I think Gane wins a comfortable decision.

Even with below avg grappling skills?

No, he has a very fragile chin. Even years ago Machida KO'd him just before Machida moved to MW. Gane would catch him during the beginning of one of the rounds. Ngannou would murder him. Blaydes also beats him, as he's a bigger, younger wrestler who also has KO power. Black Beast finds a way to KO him. Tuivasa and Volkov probably beat him. Maybe he's a toss-up against most others, and favored against the lowest tier of the division.

 

[g*r*b]

I fear he would fare only fair and not go far.

Even with below avg grappling skills?

Yes. I really think that fight was an outlier for Gane. Bader isn't as fast, big or has the reach that Francis has. He might have some success early but I think Gane comfortably beats him and Bader is incredibly chinny and likes to chase and telegraph his movements.

I'm not saying it's a given but one fight doesn't erase everything we've seen from Gane, especially with all the pre-fight drama and nonsense.

No

Based on what ? lol

Cause Tuivasa hits hard and Bader is chinny

You are right. Tuivasa > Ngannaou (Ngannou is a wrestler now).
