It looks like Ryan Bader will be treating heavyweight legend Fedor Emelianenko as just another man when they share the Bellator cage together.

Bellator MMA light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader says Fedor Emelianenko’s mystique will be gone once they step into the cage together.
Both men earned their right to fight for the Bellator heavyweight title in January. Bader and Fedor made it through a grueling Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament and will compete for the vacant title against one another.
Fedor, 42, is a heavyweight legend in the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA). As one of the most dominant fighters of his time, this certainly presents a huge opportunity for Bader. However, “Darth” isn’t looking at “The Last Emporer” as if he’s a mythical being. Instead, he’s treating the Russian like he’s any other man (via MMA Junkie):
“I think he gets just as anxious and nervous and all that like the rest of us, and I could see that,” Bader said. “For me, it’s just – I’m not going to put him on a pedestal. I’m going to go out and do what I do.
“I’m coming out as the champ, as ‘I’m going to go out there and beat him.’ I’m the best in the world. That’s my mentality. The mystique and all that about it, it’s going to be gone. It’s very cool when I can look back later at it. But right now I’ve just go to see him as just another man.”
Bader and Fedor will headline Bellator’s show in Las Angeles, California in January. The card currently doesn’t have a number assigned to it as of this writing. Nonetheless, the event goes down from The Forum in Los Angeles, California on January 26, 2019.

On the heels of Derrick Lewis challenging Daniel Cormier for the heavyweight title at UFC 230, we wanted to get a deeper look at some possible match-ups that we maybe never knew we wanted to see.
As the UFC and MMA celebrate 25 years of success, one thing remains the same today as it did on that fateful night in November 1993.
Fans love compelling characters.
Perhaps there is no more charismatic fighter competing today than “The Black Beast”. Lewis parlayed his most remarkable come-from-behind KO win over Alexander Volkov into a heavyweight title shot against “DC” at UFC 230. That’s not to say Lewis isn’t deserving this opportunity. He has gone 12-3 in his UFC career, beating nine of his last 10 opponents during that stretch.
It remains to be seen if Lewis can cash in as a sizable underdog at UFC 230. But given the recent unpredictability of matchmaking in MMA, anything seems possible as of late. That is precisely why we here at LowkickMMA have created our list of seven MMA fights you never knew you wanted to see…until now.
You probably never thought about Bader and Miocic fighting in the heavyweight division until now.
With the recent emergence of Bader in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix, the former Arizona State wrestler could become Bellator’s first fighter to hold two titles simultaneously.
Moreover, a fight between Bader and Miocic definitely has me interested. Both guys have similar wrestling pedigrees, Bader with a slight advantage, and their hands are comparable as well, with Miocic holding the edge in that department.
At this point in their careers, a fight between these two may be wishful thinking. But if Bader does return to the Octagon to close his career out, or if Miocic takes his talents to the Bellator cage, we could see this fight play out right before our eyes.

According to this former UFC star, Daniel Cormier is in for an easy night at UFC 230.
The post Quote: Derrick Lewis Could Be Daniel Cormier’s Easiest Fight In Long Time appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Derrick Lewis could be the easiest opponent for Daniel Cormier in his next fight, according to one former UFC star. Cormier slated to defend his heavyweight title against the hard-hitting heavyweight star in the headliner of UFC 230.
This quote comes from Ryan Bader, who not only is the Bellator light heavyweight champion but also going for a second title. He is competing in the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix to crown a new champion.
Bader went on record by stating in a recent interview that although he’s a fan of Lewis because of his personality, he doesn’t see this being a competitive fight.
“I think Derrick Lewis is funny, the whole deal, I like his personality. I like his post-fight speeches and all that kind of stuff,” Bader told MMAjunkie Radio. “But I really think this could be Cormier’s easiest fight in a long, long time.”
Instead, he sees DC going out and wrestling Lewis. This should be the sealer for how this fight plays out inside of the Octagon.
“I see Cormier going out there, jabbing him in the face a few times, hitting the outside single. Putting Derrick on his butt and it’s going to be game over, pretty much.”
The UFC 230 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York City. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on FOX Sports 1 at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.
“That’s why we saw Cormier take this fight. Even though he’s got a hurt hand, even though it’s a month away. He’s like, ‘Wait, I get to go out there, put my heavyweight title on the line. Fight a guy who just said that he doesn’t even deserve to be in a title fight?”
At the end of the day, Bader predicts that Cormier will use his cardio as an advantage in this fight and runs away with it.
“That he’s tired and can’t go five rounds? Of course Cormier’s going to do that. I actually think Cormier’s going to run away with that, for sure.”
