LOS ANGELES – Ryan Bader ran into a brick wall of a hand, and his night was over.
In a bout with title implications, along with the main event to come after it, Lyoto Machida made a big statement, knocking Bader out at 1:32 of the second round and putting himself next in line for the 205-pound title.
The light heavyweight fight served as the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC on FOX 4 event at Staples Center in Los Angeles. It aired on FOX following prelims on FUEL TV.
