10 MMA Fighters We Want Back in the UFC

Ryan Bader is someone that I have been watching since I was a little kid, and I never thought I would see the day where he finally reached the level of being a championship fighter. However, he essentially got released from the UFC in liu of being granted a title shot against Daniel Cormier, a fight that I wouldn’t be surprised to see him win.

Not only was he at the top of the division when he left, but he has been picking up wins against champions such as King Mo, Fedor Emelianenko, and Phil Davis, while also dispatching dangerous contenders like Matt Mitrione and Linton Vassell. Bader being the first ever Bellator champ-champ should be enough to grant him reentry to the UFC, and I think that he could give both Jon Jones (in a rematch) and Daniel Cormier a tough fight.
