Bader Signs New Deal With Bellator

Bellator won’t have to worry about the future of their heavyweight and light heavyweight titles, as Ryan Bader has signed a new deal with the Viacom owned promotion.

First reported by MMA Fighting, Bellator has locked up their double champion for a multi-year deal that will see him fight at both weight classes.

Bader has not fought at 205 pounds since his second round TKO of Linton Vassell at Bellator 186 in November 2017.

Yet to lose inside the Bellator cage, Bader ran through the Heavyweight Grand Prix in 2018, ending it with a first round TKO win over Fedor Emelianenko at Bellator 214.
