I'm Surprised More People Aren't Picking Bader

It's been a long layoff for arcana, and say what you will but Bader isn't a great welcome back matchup. I think Bader wins.

Many are picking Bader: http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f2...tement-finish-rashad-evans-ufc-192-a-3055947/

He's a good sleeper pick but I think Rashad still takes him.

Bader will win a very boring decision.

 

[ShreddinMMA]

I think plenty of people are picking Bader.

Rashad is way past it at this point.

I like Rashad he's a solid fighter but def passed his prime. Bader is very hot n cold. What are the odds bader could be a decent bet, but as far as a call it pick I'd go with rashad

Unless Bader can drastically improve his hands for this fight, i dont believe he can win. Baders main thing is getting takedowns, which should be neutralized by Rashad.

Only thing that makes it interesting is will Rashad move like he used to.

I almost guarantee Rashad wins a boring decision via wrestling. A lot of people saying he's past it, I think he was just burnt out.

Bader has nothing for Rashad, Rashad is the better MMA wrestler and striker.

Bader's is hungry, and has been active. Rashad has looked to be out of shape, is rusty, and hasn't seemed to be motivated about mma since Jones, and will likely be showing up to get a check. Bader winning wouldn't surprise me at all.

Hopefully there's going to be another coming in a couple of weeks!

 

[Sgt Smith]

I would support Bader more if he'd go by the nickname "The Master".

 

[DragRacer]

I'm picking Rashad too, but wouldn't be surprosed to see Bader pull it off because Rashad is old and the drug tests are getting harder and harder to beat. Either way I don't for see this being an exiting fight but hope I'm wrong!

 

[Strange King]

Bader sucks. Wouldn't pick him over anyone

 

[BenRichards]

Bader via still having knees. Shad's obviously the better all around fighter but I can't imagine he has much left at this point

 

[Jin Akutsu]

I'm picking Bader.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Idk but I hope someone gets a stoppage.

 

[ostlerrage]

Rashad is better than bader at everything. He will win by dec.

all of these things,

while I think Rashad is the more skilled of the two I just don't know what kind of shape he will be in and how rusty he will be.

There were many other factors but look at how bad Cain came in. Also movement could be a huge factor, just might not have the speed and footwork he used to.
