MMA Weekly says a bout between Ultimate Fighter winner Ryan Bader and Keith Jardine is set for the UFC’s first trip to Australia:
Ryan Bader v. Keith Jardine At UFC 110
A light heavyweight bout has been added to the UFC's first trip to the land down under. "The Ultimate Fighter" Season 8 winner Ryan "Darth" Bader looks to keep his undefeated record in tact as he faces "The Dean of Mean" Keith Jardine.
The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com on Tuesday by multiple sources close to the fight, who indicated bout agreements have been issued for the upcoming fight.
This is a pretty massive step up in competition for Bader. Jardine has been holding on to his spot as the top of the tier just below title contention for a few years now. Bader has been working through the “Red” Schafers of the division. It will be a very eye-opening fight in terms of where exactly Bader is in his progression as a fighter.
