Shows how much you know, he's here right now.

[wheelsdown]

Bader is such an incredible guy and training with him at power mma is such a privelge

[Pharellman]

Always a fan of bader.
Very cool guy.

[Funkmastabuzz]

U can tell hes lovin being a father....GoodLuck!!!

[onalyd]

man look how crisp Ariel's white shirt is
respect

[ELementCreator]

they probably shoud have made Shogan vs Machida... They are the real contenders.

[mma]

Make a case for a title shot

Bader: I took out Brillz and rampage

Shogun: I took out Forrest Machida and rampage

Machida: I took out Randy, Rashad and silva

Vera: I took my wife out to dinner...

[vanlee]

Bader has Machidas gameplan down and knows what he does and had seen and studied his tape allot, with that being said he is still getting Kod or just lose and Get out classed in every possible way. Machida will have his way with Bader and blitz him whenever he wants. Machida by whatever way he wants to win. Bader does not have the tools to stop the Dragon

[ABertram]

machida wrestled in sumo with guys WAY heavier though and was really successful at it. he took tito down, took rampage down. couldnt even be touched by rashad. his offensive wrestling is likely not on par with baders, but his takedown d is stellar. im telin yah, bader cant and wont take him down

[rfc]

the last time someone called out lyoto (randy) it didn't end very well LMAO

[thehotsteal]

he has the best chance of the 4 i think.

[TheDovahki]

RYAN: im not ganna be able to rush, because i got to set it up.
Fight day: HE RUSHED LYOTO MACHIDA N BOOM

[BilboB]

Forrest Machida should get the next title shot instead...

[Kinggypo]

i do agree with you jones has alot more skills than dan. but jones does get hit and makes it really obvious that he is hurt when dan henderson sees that he will keep coming foward but if the fight goes past the 3rd round i believe jon jones is gonna win

[OnRockIT]

I understand that, but St-Pierre trained with the Canadian national wrestling team and the Russian national wrestling team to improve his wrestling. Machida has had no such extensive training in wrestling. If he did, we would see him get more freestyle type takedowns and we haven't.

[Kinggypo]

bader is the only guy i heard that mentioned Jon jones OR dan henderson for the next tittle fight. people are counting out hendo too much if he can land one shot thats all it takes but if the fight goes the distance jones is gonna win

[Ftsqrl]

i didn't see bader dominating. all i saw was bader getting frustrated and getting ktfo

[seanthemoneymagnet]

It was part of his strategy. Tell everyone he wasn't going to rush in. Then he does. Didn't work too well. LOL

[therealmohammad]

thats not big bader, he's lil' bader

[roreo]

This whole situation is fucked. None of these guys deserve to fight Jones. They never should have released King Mo, he would come in real handy right now.
