Filed under: Bellator , Featured , News Linton Vassell is not pleased with the apparent direction of the Bellator light heavyweight division after Ryan Bader claimed gold in the weight class at Bellator 180 this past weekend. Vassell (18-5 MMA, 7-2 BMMA) believes he is the No. 1 contender to the belt, which Bader (23-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) took from Phil Davis by split decision at Bellator 180 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He said his Bellator 179 win against Liam McGeary (see highlights from that fight in the video above) in May was promoted as a fight that would determine the next title challenger, but since then the organization has changed its tune.
