8 Most Desired Fights For UFC Vs. Bellator Supercard

The only rematch on this list, when Ryan Bader and Jon Jones first fought back in 2011, both men had already been earmarked for future success in the sport of MMA.

Despite Bader owning superior wrestling credentials going into their first bout, Jones wasted no time taking his man down and securing a dominant position early in the first round. Jones maintained his dominance in striking exchanges throughout the fight, before wrestling Bader to the mat and submitting him with a guillotine choke with just a minute to go in the second round.

Since leaving the UFC in 2016 however, Bader has revitalised his career winning the Bellator Light Heavyweight Championship and, doing something his hypothetical opponent has as of yet failed to do, moved up in weight to win the Bellator Heavyweight Grand Prix.

In addition to this, many analysts believe that Jones hasn't been at his all-conquering best back since his return from a lengthy doping suspension in 2018. Jones' two Octagon appearances in 2019 also marked the first time in six years that the American had competed twice in a calendar year. Bader, on the other hand, has fought at least twice a year every year since his debut in 2007.

Prediction: Ultimately though, despite Bader's improvements Jones still possesses a level of creativity and grit that few fighters have ever matched in the sport, which would prove to be enough for him to earn the unanimous decision victory over the course of five rounds.
