Yesterday Ryan Bader
announced that he has signed with Bellator MMA after not being able to come to
a deal with the UFC. Bader is 15-5 and has gone 7-1 over his last 8 fights but
he was not being considered for a title fight so he went elsewhere.
His contract with
Bellator is for 6 fights over two years and it is expected that his first fight
may well be at Bellator’s next PPV in June for a title shot against Bellator
Light Heavyweight Champion Phil Davis.
As a fan this means I
will get to watch him fight more often because Bellator does not normally do
PPV, this one in June is only their second pay per view fight. As a collector
this means he will no longer have any cards with 2017 Topps UFC Fire possibly
being his last official cards unless he is included in 2017 Topps UFC Chrome
which comes out later this year.
