This is not a good match up for bader. At all.

I said a month ago he should be calling out Shogun... For bader
To have a chance at breaking the top five, he needs to face people
He can take down...

Come on Machida. Hopefully Bader doesn't land a punch reinforced by his abs and KO Machida.

Good fight for Machida. He should be able to take this. Machida has better overall striking and very good tdd. Before anyone mentions Jones just know that Jones is the best wrestler at LHW and losing to him shouldn't take anything away from any fighter's skills.

That being said Bader has big power, and has good cardio and decent durability. If Bader can turn this into a ugly brawl or get a takedown than he can pull the upset.

Machida via tko in the second...

Bader is constantly improving but somehow i dont think he's ever gonna break that top 5...

it would be huge for him if he could beat Machida though..beating Page and Machida in consecutive fights would be considered great by even the very best fighters..

Bader obviously has one punch KO power but look at how Machida has handled fighters like that in the past... they don't touch him with enough power to do serious damage (except Shogun, and it took 5.5 rounds for him to do it). Bader could try to use wrestling but Machida does have solid TDD. Machida has better BJJ and his striking is better by far. Machida wins via flurry of punches and kicks leading to a TKO.

Damn, I wanted to see Bader vs. Gustafsson so Gus can prove he can handle someone who's a good wrestler. I like the idea of Machida-Bader but honestly I'm more concerned about who Gus can fight. Shogun's booked, Rampage is injured (I think, otherwise he'd be fighting Shogun), Machida and Bader are obviously booked, I guess Rashad?

No straight up wrestlers will beat Machida, his TDD is just way too good. This is about the worst fight for Bader. Machida will be fighting for the title again next year after 3 straight wins.

Cat Zingano > Miesha Tate (Tron)
Cormier > Mir
Vitor > Rockhold (Tron)
Werdum > Mir
Cezar > Dollaway

That's a bold but quite possible outcome considering how well he did against Jones before he got put to sleep, he has demolished Rashad, technically beat Shogun once, HE BEAT RAMPAGE, YEAH I SAID IT! All he has to do after he beats Bader is beat Rashad again, maybe Shogun/Hendo, then no one else would be more deserving for another title shot?

Wow what a step backwards for Machida. This does nothing to help his career as Bader is nowhere hear top 7-10 LHW material. Machida wins this easily.
