Ali Abdelaziz allegedly hinted that 'Darth' might be using performance-enhancing substances, and said testing him was a necessity
Ryan Bader, who is expected to face Corey Anderson at Bellator 268 in the Bellator light-heavyweight world Grand Prix, will look to replicate his win from the Lyoto Machida fight.
Though never suspended for testing positive for a banned substance in his career, Ryan Bader's current form may come as a surprise to many. Bader, now 38, is a long way past his prime but is still competing at the highest level. This may have led to speculation that the MMA veteran may be on an illegal substance. Ali Abdelaziz, however, has a history of controversial tweets and other social media posts antagonizing his clients' opponents.
