Bellator President: 'I think Bader won'

Scott Cocker, President of the Bellator promotion, spoke about the fight between Ryan Bader and Valentin Moldavsky.

“Bader had a tough fight. He had to sweat a lot,” Cocker said at a press conference after the Bellator 273 tournament. “Moldavian is a big guy, and this is not a joke to you. Ryan did what he had to do and I also think he won. Yes, it was a close fight, and to be honest, I thought that he [Bader] was about to knock out in the first round, but then Moldavsky imposed his game.
