On Saturday, Jan. 30, the UFC hosted UFC on Fox 18: Johnson vs. Bader from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

In the night’s main event, former title challenger Anthony “Rumble” Johnson took on The Ultimate Fighter season eight winner Ryan Bader in a light heavyweight duel.

Prior to the Cormier loss, Rumble had reeled off nine straight wins. Bader, meanwhile, had moved into title talk with five straight wins. In his most recent outing, Bader topped former titleholder Rashad Evans by unanimous decision at UFC 192.
