Ryan Bader wins a unanimous decision over Ovince St. Preux (48-47, 49-46, 49-46) in the main event of last night's (Sat., Aug. 16, 2014) UFC Fight Night 47: "Bader vs. St. Preux" at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on Fox Sports 1. It wasn't pretty; actually, it was one of the ugliest victories of "Darth's" career, but considering the fact that he was ranked 8th in the light heavyweight division coming into the evening, winning was everything. He withstood a few of St. Preux's harder shots, avoiding a finish early on, to work his superior grappling. Later, he blamed injuries for a less than desirable performance. Perhaps that's what led to his looking listless at points, but it's fair to wonder if he showed enough to give anyone confidence that he can hang with a much steeper step up in competition. Well?
