Bellator light heavyweight and heavyweight champion Ryan Bader is getting a taste of his own medicine.
Ryan Bader may be preparing to battle Cheick Kong at Bellator 226, but the true war is with the champ-champ’s brother-in-law.
Can’t say I didn’t deserve that. Touché Chris pic.twitter.com/vOjiXokv3C

Bader has been embroiled in a prank war with his brother-in-law, Chris, and it shows no signs of stopping. Last month, Bader snuck up behind his brother-in-law and tased him. A few days later, Chris exacted revenge. Bader was sitting on a stool after a training session when he was approach by his brother-in-law. Chris tossed a cup of flour at Bader’s face and followed up with a swift slap. “Can’t say I didn’t deserve that,” Bader tweeted. “Touché Chris.”
En route to Bellator 226 this week, Bader followed up with an immature but effective prank. Chris was sleeping on the plane seat next to him when Bader dropped an open bottle of water on Chris’ lap. Chris jerked awake and looked at his drenched pants before giving Bader a serious death glare.
