LONDON – Linton Vassell thinks his promoter may need to get into the interim title business sooner rather than later. The former Bellator light heavyweight title champion questions whether current titleholder Ryan Bader (25-5 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) will be ready and willing to defend his belt, given his current conquest in the Bellator MMA World Grand Prix 2018. “It’s going to be a shame if he holds the division up,” Vassell (18-6 MMA, 7-3 BMMA) told MMAjunkie in advance of his Paramount-televised bout with Phil Davis (18-4-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) at Bellator 200, which takes place at The SSE Arena in London
