Ryan Bader Bellator heavyweight champion, commented on the desire of the current UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones fight with Stipe Miocic.

“John, Stipe and I have been in this sport forever. And I understand the young guys, they call the best, they call the champion. However, when you reach a certain point in your career, you really start needing those legacy fights. John needs Stipe and it doesn't compromise others. He wants to contribute to his career, he wants to fight with this name, it's a big moment and a big show. Obviously everyone else will call you out and try to have a fight, but I agree with John one hundred percent. He'd better wait. This fight must take place,” Bader was quoted as saying by MMA Fighting.
