The former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) victor has a proclivity for crumbling in his biggest fights, just as he did against Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida, Tito Ortiz, and now Anthony Johnson. The only defeat in that stretch came in a title fight against Daniel Cormier at UFC 187.
Bader, who was an All-American wrestler at Arizona State, beat Rashad Evans on the 192 undercard for his fifth consecutive win. In just 86 seconds, Rumble Johnson stuffed a Ryan Bader takedown, shifted the surging light heavyweight to the cage, and then knocked him unconscious.
