His nickname is Darth Bader, which refers to Star Wars antagonist character Darth Vader. As of August 3, 2021 he is #5 in the Bellator men’s pound-for-pound rankings and #1 in the Bellator Light Heavyweight Rankings.
Sherdog:
The Bellator 256 main event saw Bader (28-6, 1 NC) get a chance at revenge against former Lyoto Machida, who knocked out “Darth” in 2012. Early on, the superior footwork of Machida (26-11) allowed him to stay away from Bader’s right hand and land some hard kicks to the body.
However, the wrestling of the American became a factor as the fight continued. The reigning Bellator heavyweight champion kept the Brazilian grounded and delivered constant punishment from top position during the final three rounds.
