Two-weight Bellator champion Ryan Bader ’s attention is firmly fixed on defending his light heavyweight strap Friday at Bellator 244, and he hopes to stick around for another title defense at 205 pounds before moving back up to heavyweight and settling some unfinished business with Cheick Kongo . Speaking with MMA Junkie in the lead-up to his light heavyweight title defense against Vadim Nemkov at Mohegan Sun Arena, Bader (27-5 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) laid out his ideal scenario for the months ahead, starting with a successful title defense in Uncasville, Conn. “A perfect world for me right now would be to go out there, beat Nemkov, defend that light heavyweight belt, then turn around and fight again at light heavyweight,” Bader explained.
