UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Ryan Bader sees double incentive in the Bellator light heavyweight grand prix. Former dual-champ Bader (27-6 MMA, 5-1 BMMA), who lost his 205-pound title to Vadim Nemkov at Bellator 244 in August, is on a quest to regain his belt, and it starts on Friday when he meets former UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida at Bellator 256 . The initial plan was for Bader to defend his heavyweight title first, but he couldn’t resist the offer to get his light heavyweight title back.
