Bio: The former All-American wrestler from Arizona State University entered “The Ultimate Fighter 8″ as an undefeated prospect in 2008 with six of his seven career wins coming by stoppage. Using a combination of elite wrestling and knockout power, Ryan Bader earned a shot at the six-figure contract against Vinny Magalhaes in the finals. That fight didn’t make it out of the first round, as Bader scored the quick TKO victory and the title of “Ultimate Fighter” winner.
That win would springboard Bader’s MMA career, and he would go on to win his first five UFC fights and become one of the faces of TapouT in the process. And while Bader will always have his wrestling abilities to fall back on, he has continued to hone his boxing and jiu-jitsu skills alongside teammates Aaron Simpson and CB Dollaway at Power MMA and Fitness in Arizona. And as he continues to grow in all areas, Bader is sharing his techniques with TapouTVTC.com, where he’s provided exclusive MMA training videos like the one below:
