Ryan "Darth" Bader was interview by Arizona's 93.3 KDKB, ahead of his fight with Rafael Cavalcante at UFC 174 on June 14, 2014 in Vancouver, Canada. He suggested that he might change his ring name to "Master" and read out some mean tweets.
"This is from Riss, R-I-S-S," he begins. "Bader could be one of the greats, if only he wasn't such a fan of taking naps at inappropriate time. Like, during a fight, right after someone punches him."
I can't wait for that one fight that he tells Bruce to announce him as The Master. Will be a great night indeed.
That's some great marketing now that I think about it, because now I will tune in for every Bader fight, waiting for that one fateful night... it's all I need.
kyle223 - Lol he seems like a good guy. Would like to see him do more in the UFC.
This.
He has the skillset, but now that he's fallen in love with his hands he has gotten KOd. He needs to develop a more rounded game, and use his wrestling more and mix it up.
Dude is 16–4. Not a bad record, he just can't beat the next-level guys. His loss to Tito was bad, but, these are his 4 loses:
Glover Teixeira, Rd 1 KO
Lyoto Machida, Rd 2 KO
Tito Ortiz, Rd 1 guillotine choke
Jon Jones, Rd 2 guillotine choke
So it's not like he's losing to slouches, but with the exception of Nog and a tired old Rampage, he's not beating big names, either. Dude is doomed to be middle of the road if he doesn't start putting shit together.
Yea, no doubt he's an excellent fighter, just hasn't been able to beat those elite guys. Seems like a good guy. Hopefully he can evolve a little and get to that elite level.
Haven't been a huge fan since he started, but im willing to start.. he HAS to change over to "Master". Otherwise I wont be able to shout it durin his fights and then I wont be able to piss my girlfriend off with it. At the moment she hates Big Country cause of his fat fuckin belly, shes going to LOVE Master Bader
