Who wins the Ryan Bader vs. Linton Vassell fight and why?
JOHN HARRIS, MMATorch Contributor
I’ll go with Bader by unanimous decision. I just do not think Vassell will be able to handle Bader’s strong grappling. Vasell’s last lost came against Mo Lawal back in 2015, a fighter very similar to Ryan Bader except Bader has better striking. Vassell is a good fighter but just not at the level of Bader.

I’ll go with Bader by decision in a close, tightly-contested fight. I don’t think it’ll be super exciting, but I think Bader wins three rounds and it’s a very tense fight.
SEAN COVINGTON, MMATorch Contributor
I think Ryan Bader has too much experience for Vassell. Bader hasn’t really fought anyone I deem very credible but I give him the edge in this one.

Ryan Bader will win the fight via decision by out wrestling Vassell and keeping control of the fight.
COLE HENRY, MMATorch Contributor
I have to take Ryan Bader here. I think Linton Vassell is a solid fighter, but I think Bader will probably hold onto his belt for a while. He is the superior wrestler, and probably the better striker as well. Still though, Vassell is tough and…wait for it…anything can happen.
