Bader silences Paris Kongo is imposed at Bellator 280

To put the icing on the cake, the locals only needed a great victory for his star, Cheick Kongo, who fell by unanimous decision (triple 50-45) against Ryan Bader, who managed to retain heavyweight championship and clear the doubts that could still remain about him.

The lawsuit, which had had its first part in 2019 (it ended without result due to an eye poke), was not very showy nor did it have much history, since Bader dominated from start to finish. The American, with a very marked plan, He took Kongo against the cage and there he reduced him with his fight. Clear dominance and with little risk, the duel will not be remembered for its intensity, but it was a clear victory for Bader, who in a streak of two wins makes it clear that despite his 38 years he still has rope. For his part, Kongo, 45, was injured in his leg, although he does not want to “make it an excuse”, he stated in RMC Sport. His future remains up in the air and he did not want to clear up the mystery, although his subsequent words point to a withdrawal of the Gallic idol.
