Looks like Ryan Bader will get a Bellator MMA title shot in his debut, after all.
Bader was expected to face off with “King Mo” Muhammed Lawal in his promotional debut at Bellator 180 on June 24 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Monday on “The MMA Hour” with Ariel Helwani, Davis revealed that Lawal had pulled out the bout due to a nagging injury and “Mr. Wonderful” had stepped into his place, firming up the rematch with Bader and adding a third Bellator MMA title fight to the bill.
