Dub. Not that Bader doesn't have a world of talent, but for someone who hasn't even fought in a major promotion yet that writing is *way* over the top. Also agree with those saying that his fight vs. Elliot was boring. Man, I really can't stand the lay and pray tactic, and I wish judges wouldn't count the take down for anything unless the fighter actually follows it up and does some damage. But to take a guy down and lay in his guard doing nothing shouldn't win a fight. Yea, gotta agree with Ft. Dub.

Dana White looked unhappy and said it was dull. How happy will he be if Bader wins it with a wrestling style? White knows that's not entertaining and UFC has cut fighters who rely too much on wrestling. Neither Vinny nor Bader had much stand up on the show, and Bader’s semi fight was boring.

It's not enough to just be a good wrestler. To be good at MMA you have to be a fighter. I haven't seen any sign yet that Bader is really a fighter. As a side note, Sam needs to check the writing 5oz is putting out these days. "Ryan Bader is on the verge of mixed martial arts greatness", "Carving a path of destruction at 205 pounds since jumping head first into the sport". Are you effing serious? I thought I was reading Bader's website. This article sounded like Cory Brady has a ridiculous man crush.

I fast forwarded through the whole thing. If Bader brings the same lay and pray game against Vinny, it will be over in the first round. He will get caught in some crazy sub. If Bader keeps it standing and works the outside, he mighjt end it by the second. If he goes inside and they clinch, look for a flying arm bar. Either way, I think this is going to be a good fight. I think Vinny in the first with a sub if Bader gets sloppy. That semi fight was boring. I fast forwarded through the whole thing.

Bader controlled where the fight went ,but then didn't go anywhere with it when he got the wheel he just laid there ! . It looked like he was uncomfortable with the prospect of raining elbows which would have wrapped things up pretty quick IMHO. I'm not sure i saw him drop one... and if he did, it was like a practice elbow in the gym, afraid he might hurt someone. I'm hoping that like with other, TUF semi's where we just scratched our heads and wondered WTF so and so was doing on the show in the 1st place,that the nerves or whatever get purged then and there and the real guys show up at the finals.......

Vinny does have some sick BJJ. However, Bader seems to hone up to the lackluster lay and pray against Eliot Marshall and knows not only to win this fight, but to look good doing it.
