On Episode 23 of The HJR Experiment, host Harrison Rogers sits down with Mixed Martial Arts powerhouse, Ryan Bader. The conversation really dives into Bader's illustrious career, his upcoming fights, and a retrospective look at some of his most memorable bouts, including the intense fight against Fedor.
The duo revisits the early days of The Ultimate Fighter, where Bader emerged victorious in the season finale, marking the beginning of his professional journey in the UFC. They discuss the significant progression in salaries since those early days, reflecting the growth and mainstream acceptance of the sport.
Bader's transition to Bellator is another key topic of discussion. They delve into his experiences, achievements, and the future of his contract with the organization. Amid rumors of a potential merger between PFL and Bellator, Bader and Rogers speculate on what this could mean for his career and the sport as a whole.
We discuss the physical aspects of the sport, with Bader explaining his decision to fight as a heavyweight and the challenges and strategies around weight cutting.
Sponsorships, a crucial aspect of any professional sport, are also discussed. Bader and Rogers explore how the landscape of sponsorships has evolved over time, and how it has impacted fighters and the sport.
Finally, the episode wouldn't be complete without addressing rivalries. Bader reveals if there's a grudge match on his mind, a fight he'd like to 'run it back' with, adding an intriguing layer to his fighting persona.
This episode is a must-listen for MMA enthusiasts, offering an in-depth look at the journey of one of the sport's most respected fighters, Ryan Bader. Tune in to The HJR Experiment for this and more.
