Also, even DC got walloped by a huge Rumble right and Bader is much more hittable and much much much slower than DC. He'll get hit, and unlike DC, he won't recover.
I don't think Bader's turned any corners, the level of opposition in the top of his division has just dropped super significantly. The guys he lost to before turning alleged corner he still loses to (barring Tito, but that was an upset then too) and the ones he beat he still beats. The only guys he beat in his current streak who aren't super old and washed up are OSP (so far back grappling-wise it wasn't even fair) and Davis (who is on par wrestling-wise but is just undersized against Bader and can't strike for **** when the grappling gets cancelled out).
I think there are 4 guys in the division Bader loses to 10 times out of 10, another one (maybe 2) where it can go either way and the rest he demolishes. The perfect gatekeeper.
The thing about Bader is that he's big and has pretty solid MMA wrestling (I truly believe that in an MMA fight Gustafsson gets the better of the wrestling-based stats against him), pretty solid striking (good power, better technique than he used to have but pretty stiff and soooooo slooooooow), you more or less know exactly where he is and I don't see him getting that much better in the future.
