On Friday, Ryan Bader will undergo surgery to repair a broken hand he suffered in a dominant decision victory over Anthony Perosh at UFC Fight Night 33. “I went two back-to-back camps, so I’ve been in the gym constantly for four or five months,” Bader told MMAjunkie Radio. “So I get a little break, and get that fire back and get in there when I’m healed up.” The injury, however, could nix matchups Bader thought he might get after his win, which put him back on the right track after a knockout loss to Glover Teixeira at UFC Fight Night 28 in September. He was hoping for a matchup with the likes of Mauricio Rua or Phil Davis . “With a broken hand, it puts me back, and some of these guys that I thought I could fight, like ‘Shogun’ or a Phil Davis or whatever, they might get fights before,” he said.
