Two of the highest ranking fighters in the UFC light heavyweight division will be facing off in UFC fight night on the 30th of January, 2016. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson is currently ranked 2nd in the light heavyweight division. He has made his mark in the UFC by having 4 KO wins in under a minute, being the most in UFC history. Anthony Johnson is a balanced fighter between striking, submissions, and takedowns but is particularly known for having an extremely heavy hitting punch. He has a 20-5-0 record with 13 of those wins being by knockout. Since his return to the UFC in 2014 Johnson has been performing better than anyone had ever expected for moving up in weight class.
Ryan Bader is one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight division being ranked 4th among his peers. He is extremely strong in takedowns and follows up with his skills in striking. Like Johnson, Bader is also well known for having heavy hands. He also particularly enjoys throwing elbows when striking.
