Nobody hands you anything at heavyweight. Ryan Bader — "Darth" to fight fans — has built a 31-8 record the hard way, one fight at a time since leaving the United States's regional scene.
The record shows a bit of everything: knockouts (13), submissions (3), decisions (15). Well-rounded is an overused word; here it's just accurate.
He's 43 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
