I wonder when this was signed. I was sparring with Red last week Thursday and asked if he had something scheduled. He said no. Perfect fight for Red to showcase his new stand up skills.

Unfortunately he'll have to fight off Baders takedowns which I don't think he'll be able to do.

Good thing Red is a wizard off his back. Red will be ready for the take downs. Bader will have to throw sloppy *** combos to get his nice takedowns. Hopefully Red KO's this fool.

Bader won't take Eric down. He will try and keep it standing just like he did against jujitsu ace Vinny.

+1 , Bader better have good sub defense because Eric can sub him at any time.

It has been a while since I watched that fight, but I thought he kept him on the ground most of the fight? I could be mistaken.

From coach Roufus himself quoted as, "On training weaknesses:
"Here’s my thing: if I train with an MMA fighter, if I can stand up and strike with you, I’m gonna go with the mat with you and roll. Why should I be able to beat you at my discipline…I’m not gonna take my ball and go home. ‘See ya! Alright, thanks for playing.' So many guys do that; they do their discipline, leave…I collaborate. That’s how you get better."
"That’s my philosophy with all my students and fighters: Train your weakness. The only thing that’s gonna happen is you’re not gonna get worse. You’re just gonna get better. It takes the real warrior to do something he’s bad at."
"Man, look for [Eric] 'Red' [Schafer] to surprise someone soon. He’s gonna kick someone upside the head or he’s gonna give ‘em some punches
. Omar [Choudhury] did great in his last fight with his striking, too. All the guys are just getting better at their weaknesses.""

No....that fight with Vinny stayed on the feet the entire time. But when Bader fought BJJ Black belt Elliot Marshell on the TUF 8 show he did keep it on the ground the entire time.

That's what I was thinking of. Thanks for correcting me.
I remembered whenI watched it it seemed like he just layed and prayed, but when thinking about it again, that was him doing what he needed to do to win. I think Bader is a good fighter for sure.
Id love to see him get tested.
