Bader is interested in a fight with Ngannou

Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader stated that he would not mind sharing a cage with Francis Ngannou, if his promotion does end up being absorbed by the PFL.

“I have discussed various options with the manager, but no one really knows how everything will work out. You need to do your job. Who knows what will happen after the league is sold. Will we all become free agents? Or will we automatically end up in the PFL?

Ngannou? This is a money fight, and it makes sense to strive for this. Perhaps everything will work out well for this fight. This is very, very interesting for me,” MMA Fighting quotes Bader as saying.

Recall that Bader was scheduled to defend his title against Linton Vassell at Bellator 300, but the Briton dropped out due to an unspecified illness. Ryan later hinted that this tournament could be one of the promotion's last.
