I still think Bader could compete in the UFC as a light heavyweight. Because he's dominating these lesser fighters in a lesser promotion too easily.
Cheick Gongo est le combattant le plus raide que je connaisse.A le voir combattre il me donne l'impression d'avoir des difficultés à déplier ses membres.C'est un titan mais il ne sait pas utiliser son corps.
Thanks mister Bader for beating that crap
That eye poke didn't look that serious…. that uppercut from the ground did more damage
Bob Saps legacy continues
He felt his power
No contest is fair. Ryan Bader was clearly trying to cheat when I played the video at .25x speed and Kongo clearly did not get poked in the eye.
I’m surprised there’s going to be a rematch this year – bader was smashing him ..
Is bader still champ in either lhw and or hw ?
سيارتي الموالي اشتريتها لزوجتي يالالسراقة توجور ديقولاس العدالة
JON jones Beat this SHHHIIIIIT out bader
Kongo slow and sloppy he sucks sorry
Looks like Bader did it on purpose. Arm chair fighters calling out Kongo. Calling it a nose poke. You can’t see every angle. Good for Kongo, why should he fight after an infraction? More fighters should do this. Not continue to fight for the sake of pride when injured or hurt by cheaters. He tried to fishhook Kongos eye, his finger motions are not natural at all.
Congo has turned into a kitten . He was looking for a way out of the fight . Guy is fucking pathetic and is not in the same league as Francis ngannou
Ryan "The Master" Bader
lol, why Ryan Bader looked pissed? He was the guy who poked Kongo in the eye and the match end in his favour, he retained the championship belt.
wtf cheick got hit in the eye with the punch not the thumb up the nose that punch rock cheick so hard he could not tell if the thumb was up his nose or his eye lmao
A doctor can easily know if it's a fake a true eye poke…
man that was his septum, not his eye.
Kongo had seen the 2nd rd of the Bader/Vassell fight. He knew what was going to happen.
Too bad John McCarthy was the ref, he'd have awarded the win via TKO like he did against Krause in the Bobby Greene fight or gave him a warning that if he did it 11 more times he'd deduct a point like he did with Kongo when he fought CroCop.
Leg trapped, no way to stand up, Kongo even looks up at the clock, classic sign he knows he's done. Kongo hasn't fared well against ASU wrestlers. Cain took him out too.
He got poked in the NOSE! Follow Badar on IG he just posted a zoom in clip of the fight and it clearly show he poked Congo's nose and was nowhere near Congo's eye.
That must feel badass to tell the ref your opponent is out
I wonder how bader would fare in ufc now
Frank trigg is refereeing lol he looks old and has a gut
Kongo should be banned for that act, it's wrong on many levels.
but it goes in the nose lol.. clear to see? although his eye does look closed and kinda fucked when he stands up which would surely be hard to fake.. im confused.
Cheik kongo was very very ridiculous
RYAN BADER COULD NEVER BE UFC HW CHAMP, HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH – BELLATOR YES, UFC NO. THE TOP HEAVYWEIGHTS IN BELLATOR WERE NOT TOP 5 MATERIAL IN THE UFC – KONGO, MITRIONE, ROY, BELTRAN ETC – HE COULDN'T EVEN BE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP IN THE UFC – HE GOT KNOCKED OUT BY GLOVER AND LOST TO JONES —-UFC WILL ALWAYS BE TOUGHER THAN BELLATOR, UNTIL YOU'RE A CHAMP IN THE UFC, YOU'RE NOT A CHAMP 😉 THE TRUTH HURTS.
That first guy can solve everyone's sleeping problems.
Kongo's eyes hurt when digging for boogers!!!! At least he didn't pull a Koschec and confuse which eye it was.
Кто выиграл, райан или конго?
Looks like he was punched in the eye, not thumbed.
С хера Бэйдер в разы медленнее , чем в бою с Федором ?
Conor mcgregor 4:44
gay!
yeah, that's a nose poke what a faker
I swear dudes in bellator be pussys always taking the easy way out
wish bader would fight stipe, or jon jones again. see where he is at because i highly doubt he'd win
Bader dominating these guys , imagine what Rumble Johnson would do.
А кого там Серж Горелый задушил?
Congo is a bitch
no contest??? haha what a big joke
So is there going to be a rematch or are they gonna pull a typical Bellator move and wait another year just to have Bader fight some can and bury it on DAZN? Bellator fuckin sucks.
Fuck cup check Kongo. He kneed crocop in the nuts like 9 times and they didn't call it. He should be banned from MMA from all his but striking over the years
Who is TWINKLETOES??
I bet Badr wishes he had that back. He turned an easy win into a big ❓
What a Boring fighter Bader is
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE !!!CHEICK KONGO IS A PUNK ASS BITCH !!!!!!!! DUDE FAKED THE HELL OUT OF THE EYE POKE. LOST A FAN AND ALL RESPECT FOR THE GUY. !!! CONGO SHOULD TRY ACTING, HE IS GREAT AT IT.
Where is mma comision?Kongo hm, they are robbed Minakov in last fight,and now Bader.
I hope they give Bader the win.
Congo lol
Disgusting from Kongo. Nowhere near his eye. Should be suspended and his purse given to Bader
A thumb did not go into Kongo eye, Kongo gave up because he was gettin wooped.
Kongo Koward Kreep – he should not be paid & not fight for 1 yr.
Call the fight, it was a thumb to the nose!!!
Kongo best
Bull shit congo is a quiter
The problem is people are looking at the thumb in the nose. The eye poke could have happened right before. He was already closing his eye and it's out of the view of the camera.
Kongo needs to change his name to cheatgo
Chicken kongo
i used to train with kongo and ive never seen him act like such a punk
I hate Ryan Bader but he was smashing Kongo. Kongo took the easy way out.
So r they gonna overturn his dq to a win since kongo lied ?
Niggas always be cheating
The science behind it is when ryan bader's thumb pushed up kongo's nose it added pressure and up to his eye so kongo got hurt. Ryan bader is smart and knew what hes doing with those type of dangerous technique and thats why hes the most dangerous fighter in the world.
I was impressed by Sanchez
Kongo pushes Baden at weigh ins but seems to have bitched it after entering the ring “poke to the eye” bull shit you just scared to get your ass whooped bishhhhhh
Kongo took the easy way out … str8 bitch move
Bader was beating a 44 year old kongo . Yes dominating him. Bader shines against has beens and nobodies. He isnt really a good fighter. Rumble smashed him
Congo didnt wait anything to do with bader took the easy out
Who's here after watching Kongos pushing on weight in?
Bellator must let 'roids run rampant in their organization!!!
Kongo bitched out
Kongo bitched out
I want to know how long it took the ref from the first fight to get his moustache like that
I want to know how long it took the ref from the first fight to get his moustache like that
Is this the same guy that commentated PRIDE?
Maybe it is the air goes into his eye, because the nose was poked. Like cerrone vs ferguson.
Since when is a poke in the nose a poke to the eye. Lol watch the replay. Kongo knew what was going to happen. Took the easy way out. He didnt even get poked in the eye.
Kongo is ducking CM Punk.
Holy shit that was Frank Trigg lol I heard the announcement but it took a few seconds to actually click after seeing his face.. He had a gut!!
Kongo faked that eye poke and is the biggest PUSSY in all of MMA. You dont fake injuries to avoid a loss or getting your ass kicked. You take that shit like a man and show the victor respect by shaking hands at the end of the fight. What a shame he did that to bader.
Kongo should retire. Was hoping for a good fight and Kongo had to go and fake an eye poke.
If I have to f**** hear Big John say systematically one more time
Bitch ass move Kongo. The finger touched your nose not your eye
Kongo the COWARD!
Thumb musta pushed his bogies into his eye. Fair decision
It's amazing how blacks cry like little girls when things don't go there way!!! D.C., Check, Rampage & Black Lives Matter if we don't win boohoo!!! Ryan will stay champion because of dedication & skills!!! Keep falling them BADER!!!
Was getting manhandled.
Kongo turning into Bob Sapp LOL
Kongo's eyes were shut tight before the thumb went to his nose. That makes me think, if there was an eye poke, it happened when Kongo's head was down and they were wrestling each other's hands. It also looked like Bader's glove could've raked across Kongo's eye whenever he lifted his head up. Not saying there was definitely an eye poke, but the thumb in the nose seems to be distracting people from the fact that Bader's hand was in Kongo's face for a good bit and he was clenching his eye before the thumb to the nose even happened.
that was not by mistake he meant to do it as you can see his left thumb trying to go into the right eye as the ref was stopping the match
African scammers suck balls!
If Bader is defending his belt against guys like Kongo…. then how could he think he is the best in the world. Go to UFC get that humble pie. You think guys like Stipe gonna fold like that? hahaha your delusional
That was no bueno for bellator or the betting line for a no contest in the main event for the heavyweight championship. Cheick Congo is an O.G. but I don't think he was expecting what he got from Bader. I've seen way worse continue.
Cheick Kongo got his ass beat and didn't want to fight it look for easy way out
Music? Pls
kinda like cowboy blowing his nose in ferguson fight
Kongo needs to pray for a one hit knockout in the rematch, or he’s getting wrestlefucked and pounded in the corner for 5 rounds.
Typical , Bader you won. Again
Mauro Ranallo is the only commentator that can make a Ryan Bader fight seem exciting
I got no respect for Kongo anymore. That was a bitch ass move.
That guy Kongo is a fake…!
Come on …why is he there is he don’t want to fight?
Cup Cheick Kongo needs to retire. Was there for a paycheck and found a way out. Has nothing for Bader. Coker said he's not interested in giving him a rematch. It's pretty obvious that he doesn't deserve one.
congo didn't want no more smoke from bader thars all that was. Much props to campos and sanchez. homeboyz did ther thang..
Cheik (the drama queen) Congo
Dude baders left hand went straight to home boys eye
Then he wants to put attention on his right wtf
Imagine watching Bellator in 2019 LUL
My god look at Triggs belly
Kongo was gonna lose anyway but bader clearly had a dig in kongo's eye
It was a shit move because bader doesn't need to do shit moves like that against bums like kongo
You can clearly see in the replay that Bader doesn't even touch his eye. It's a nose poke hahaha watch it in slow motion. Kong pussied out. Simple.
Kongo is a cheater
Nose poke?
Hahaha kongo is such a bitch…
Basically robbed bader out of a win bonus ( given he gets a win bonus )
If you watch the video it didn't go anywhere near his eye it poked his nose
Slow motion please
Go to 4:11 and see how he pokes the big ass nose and not the eye
No1 can do anything with Bader last couple years he certainly hit his prime
@The One Minds They never fought in the UFC. I think you meant Rumble and I'm pretty certain Anthony could knock Bader out of his prime again.
Randy Bradley yeah I was confused.
Idk if Bader is in his prime or not, he's just fighting lesser competition imo…
Start watching at 4:09 with speed of .25 to see what really happened. You’re welcome.
Otes Wang lol he poked him in the nose wtf
Joseph Rios nose is the new eye according to Kongo. His eye seemed fine during post interview.
BADER'S LEFT THUMB HAS GOTTEN INTO KONGO'S LITTLE ASS SO THE BELLATOR 226 MAIN EVENT GOT FUCKED HARD !!!!
Wow first fight, refs have to do better job. A fighter went limb for a few seconds, not good at all. I was happy to see him standing and clapping. I respect all fighters and don’t wish to see anyone seriously damaged. Also credit to the winner who made the ref aware of it.
I don’t even know the guy tbh but for sure he has a family and we must all wish these fighters return to their loved ones alive and well…
Bellator should spend more time scouting their own talent rather than making champions out of guys who got canned from the UFC.
Kinda agree with you they are solid fighters but clearly were not champion material in UFC now dominating in Bellator lol
Watch the replay and it's a nose poke. Embarrassing for Kongo. MMA needs VAR this is a tough sport as it is. Unfair decisions need to be minimized.
He picked his nose.
Kongo is a peace of shit!
Bellator is such a joke lol
Be nice if the UFC posted some videos like this.. keep up the good work Bellator.
Kongos a heavyweight looking typa dude. Bader looks like a Daniel Cormier. Sucks he isnt in the UFC anymore.
kongos garbage.
Bader was dominating him anyway
Bader was dominating him anyway
Ryan Bader is just a lucky champ. Fedor will destroy him this time.
Fedor is old and needs to retire.
Fedor is old and needs to retire.
Well Nader was clearly gonna win that one lol punched and dazed the "striker"
Bellator main event jinx strikes again.
cheick "victim culture" kongo you deserve no pay for that performance.
He felt the power and decided he was done when he took him down
Bellator needs better prospects. 99% of the fights take place on the ground.
Bader btw when him and DC would of fought DC would beat him .
Bader was going to smash him .cheick took away out
Bader is a great fighter but watching him last night made me realize why he was never good enough to be champ in the UFC. Kinda goes to show you how good those guys in the UFC really are.
TIL thumb in nose equal thumb in eye.
