Ryan Bader is criminally underrated

[Magx951]

Ryan Bader would be the 100% next LHW contender for a title fight if he was still in the UFC. let's look at what this dude has done in his career

In his last fight, the dude KO'd king mo in one punch. He's 2-0 against Phil Davis. He KO'd lattifi with a knee. he KO'd lil nog in the rematch (he won the first fight). He fucking KO'd Vinny Magalaesh.

IMO though , the most underrated and forgotten moment was him choking out a seriously forgotten talent in Vlad Matyushenko.

TL;DR Ryan Bader is a beast and he'd be a hell of a matchup for anybody in UFC's LHW division.

now would be his perfect chance to win the an intermim belt but he's in bellator

 

[Evangelion]

I agree but Cormier's a nightmare match up for him.

which is another division Bellator has now where their champ has serious legitimacy

Tito is a nightmare match up for him

Tito is a nightmare match up for him

Tito's also been on the juice since the 90s and never stopped blasting, Tito can't survive USADA; We saw Bader do well under it

 

[Hank Grill]

Well he's about the be the 205 and hw champ of Bellator

 

[Bluntforce420]

The Tito loss and him being scared vs Rumble are hard to forget

Both were embarrassing

I remember this BRUTAL KO

I remember this BRUTAL KO

it's crazy that everybody acts like bader was a nobody even after this knee.. latifi was a serious threat in the division (and still is) and he got laid out

 

[beephin]

I'll never forget that cringe trash talk between DC and Bader in a post-fight press conference.



I remember thinking he killed Latifi with that knee though. Bader was always a good LHW, just never elite. He's def got power in those shots though. He can do very well in the current state of the LHW division.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Too bad the UFC and Dana White refused to pay him more. The LHW needs him right about now.

Racist assumption

You think Bader is clean? Lul

 

[Bboy]

I'm surprised the UFC released Ryan Bader when he seemed to finally be coming into his own. Dude was starting to get some nice finishes. But I guess on the flip side, when the dude lost, it was usually very one-sided.

"racist assumption"

they're both white, but i guess a mike perry fan is bound to be a retard.

>you think bader is clean?

Maybe, maybe not. But he was able to pass USADA's testing. I would bet my entire life on the fact that Tito "I fractured my SKULL in that fight" couldn't pass a modern drug test.

Literally no one ever acted like Bader was a nobody. What are you talking about?

 

[John makfresshi]

He was terrified of rumble lel, but is for sure a beast ! About to be the bellachamp champ

 

[Fantasy]

How the fuck did bader lose to tito

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Rumble still kills him he's the man ufc gotta call back

 

[justbetter]

Those Bader fights vs Phil Davis were a loss to everyone involved, including the spectators, and have tainted his career.
