I watched the main fight I admit it wasn't the most exciting fight on the card but bader delivered. Fedor should be next win lose or draw fighting for a title should be what fedor does for his retirement fight.

Ryan Bader ground out a unanimous decision win over home favourite Cheick Kongo to retain his heavyweight title and frustrate the French fans at Bellator 280 in Paris. The American, 38, used his wrestling over five rounds to control his French opponent, 46, in a rematch lacking in standout moments
