They wanted to ease Bader in, build him vs. Davis up a bit, solidify Bader's name with the brand with a big fight against one of their more known stars, so that they could use Davis vs. Bader to headline their next big card. They don't like marketing "UFC fighter <fighter name>", especially in their title shots which is why they prefer to make them an official "Bellator fighter" with Bellator highlights before they start marketing them for a title shot. I think part of it has to do with how Benson kind of lost all of his thunder before he actually had real ties to the Bellator brand.
But when Mo pulled out and this being a big-time PPV, so they can't afford to lose the bigger names, they figured that a) a title fight would prevent them from losing grounds and b) who else could they give Bader on a card like this without it losing luster?

The King Mo/Bader fight was the main prelim fight. The fact that it was cancelled and this fight took it place has nothing to do with maintaining a stacked PPV lineup. This fight could easily headline the following Bellator event.

Part of me really thinks we see a Bader finish here. I hope we do, anyway. But for now, I'll play it safe and say Bader wins a 25-minute striking match.
