After winning both the Bellator heavyweight and light heavyweight titles, the former UFC contender has his sights set on a third belt as part of the ongoing relationship between the Viacom-owned promotion and Rizin Fighting Federation in Japan.
Assuming he can get past Cheick Kongo at Bellator 226 this Saturday, Bader then expects to move back to the light heavyweight division for his next couple of fights, including one that should add another belt to his resume.
“I was talking to Scott [Coker] a little bit and I believe the plan is to go back down [to 205 pounds],” Bader told MMA Fighting.
