Countdown to Fight Night 47: Ryan Bader vs. ‘Rampage’ Jackson

The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 8 winner Ryan Bader headlines his first UFC card tonight when he meets Ovince St. Preux in the main event of UFC Fight Night 47. “Darth” has the chance to propel himself back in to title contention against OSP who is quickly rising up the light-heavyweight rankings.

Victory tonight would make Bader 3-0 in his last three fights following decision wins over Anthony Perosh and Rafael Cavalcante. He’s already proved himself to be one of the best fighters in the weight class with wins over world-class fighters but he’s just been unable to break in to the division’s elite.

One of his most notable wins-to-date came against former UFC light-heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the co-main event of UFC 144. Bader dominated Jackson with relative ease for three straight rounds to take an unanimous decision, in doing so he proved he could hang with the best in the world.
