I feel like people are skewed by those 2 KO losses to Newton. Mo beat Phil Davis according to pretty much everyone and got robbed. Is Bader much different from Phil? I think Bader wins but -365 is awfully wide against a guy with really good wrestling IMO.

That line will probably continue to move up as well with bets, especially parlays. If so, I may throw a little down on Mo. I suspect Bader will win, but it should be a competitive fight. One in which will probably go to the judges and from there who knows?

Bader is much bigger than Mo but Mo arguably beat Phil Davis so what do we think happens here? Bader is a huge favorite, perhaps ridiculously so.

Mo arguably beat Davis when Mo was at his peak.
Bader seems to be the one guy in bellator up weight classes that truly takes it serious. -365 might be high I agree, but Bader should be favoured in most of his fights.
When they announced the tournament I felt like seeding wise Bader was #1 and King Mo was #2
Bader (1)
Rampage (7)
Fedor (5)
Mir (4)
Mitrione (3)
Nelson (6)
Sonnen (8)
King Mo (2)
Both guys have the same problem...they can get knocked out. King Mo tends to get caught with strikes from awkward angles. With Bader is tends to be guys with good power can push through his defenses and finish him. If it goes to a decision I think Bader wins but when I see such huge odds against a guy I think might be the second best guy in the tournament.

Mo is a bum. Bader gets the Dec here by domination.

He'd be top 20 for sure. Maybe top 10 during and shortly after his SF days. Now it would be 15-20 but I doubt much higher. At his best he was a blanket. Then he thought he could strike but he can't.
Have to admit, I'm biased because I just don't like the dude.

Mo has talent, but Mirko put him away and, as I said before, his second bout with Jackson was less than stellar, not was his win over Ishii.

Davis is hot garbage.
Bader takes this. Mo ain't got nothing for him.

Hot garbage? Come on. He would be top 5 right now in the UFC at light heavy.

Nope not even close. Who in this list could he even have a chance at beating:
Cormier
Gustafsson
Teixeira
Oezdemir
Latifi
Blachowicz
Manuwa
OSP
Cirkunov
Pedro
If Mo was in the UFC he would rank probably 20-25 at best
