Ryan Bader

Incompatibility in a fight, especially when it is stopped due to accidents, like a poke in the eye, forces fighters to spend time on revenge, even when it would seem that the winner is obvious. In September 2019, Ryan Bader made his first heavyweight title defense, and almost immediately took control of the fight with Cheick Kongo. However, the slightest indiscretion shown in that fight forces him to re-enter the cage with the same opponent.


At the anniversary Bellator 280, which will take place in Cheick's hometown of Paris, Bader will try to save his only belt from the encroachments of a veteran for whom this is certainly the last opportunity in his career to climb Olympus. What will happen on May 7th: will we hear the name of a new champion or will "Darth" remain on the throne? Let's analyze the situation in detail before drawing any conclusions.

After leaving the UFC in 2016, Ryan Bader was literally reborn, and was able to reach unprecedented heights in Bellator, becoming a double champion there. However, time goes by, and young talents do not stand still, because now, in the once promising top, few people believe. At Bellator 273, he will have one last chance to prove his worth as a heavyweight champion.


In opposition to him, they picked up Valentin Moldavsky, who now owns the time zone. And not in vain, the head of the promotion, Scott Cocker, called this battle a competition between a bull and a matador, because despite the significant superiority of the Russian in the coefficients, that same bull (Bader) will always have a chance to win. We, in turn, invite you to understand the question: who, and how exactly, will become a triumphant on January 30, after which they will have the opportunity to lead the heavy weight of Bellator?
