Bader burst onto the Bellator scene by defeating Phil Davis for the light heavyweight championship in his first fight with the company and now he’s a hefty favorite to win the heavyweight grand prix to become the first simultaneous two-weight champion in Bellator history, despite never fighting at heavyweight until now.
