Submission Radio returns for another week, featuring interviews with UFC “Hall of Famer” Bas Rutten, and the man who won big at UFC 192, Ryan Bader.
As always, the video above features clickable annotations and timestamps, and below is a rundown of what to expect on the episode. We hope you enjoy the show.
Ryan Bader returns to Submission Radio (at the 4:17 mark) to discuss his big win over Rashad Evans at UFC 192 and what’s next. The man known as K-1 Bader “Darth”, talks about Rashad’s pre-fight trash talk and how it felt to get revenge, what kind of message it sent to the rest of the division, why he didn’t call anybody out after his win, how the media affected him in the lead-up to the fight, his improved striking and where it came from, his thoughts on the fight between Daniel Cormier and Alexander Gustafsson, why he’s expecting to fight Cormier next, title shots not growing on trees and not taking meaningless fights, his wrestling vs Cormier’s, why Jon Jones shouldn’t be allowed to return to the UFC immediately, thoughts on possible match-ups with Anthony “Rumble” Johnson and Glover Teixeira, avenging his last loss, his post-fight experience with USADA, and more.
