2 Star RatingReview by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-11-03, disappointing fight between Ryan Bader and Linton Vassell: it gets two stars.

He lost to Anthony Johnson last year (=Johnson vs Bader) but then he has won over Ilir Latifi (=Bader vs Latifi), Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (=Bader vs Nogueira 2) and Phil Davis (=Davis vs Bader 2).
His opponent, Linton Vassell, has a record of 18-5-0 (78% finishing rate) and he entered as the No.9 in the same weight class. He lost to Muhammed ‘King Mo’ Lawal in 2015 (=Lawal vs Vassell) but then he has beat Emanuel Newton (=Newton vs Vassell 2), Francis Carmont (=Vassell vs Carmont) and Liam McGeary (=McGeary vs Vassell). Bader vs Vassell, main event of Bellator 186, is valid for the Bellator light heavyweight title (Bader’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!
