Horseshoes and Title shots for Ryan Bader

Are there other forces hinting that Ryan Bader is just not being good enough for the UFC to consider him for a title shot after a 5 streak win in what is the most stacked and dangerous divisions in the elite MMA organization? With Wins over such fighters such as Ovince St.Preux (8-3 UFC), Phil Davis ( 9-3-1 UFC, 2-0 BMMA) and Rashad Evans (14–4–1 UFC), how can such a fighter such is Ryan Bader be overlooked by the UFC? Maybe the reason is a fighter call Jon Jones Or maybe not It didn't seem like the UFC was really interested before Jon Jones was reinstated to come back to fighting. 






Have the UFC and fans realized that Ryan Bader is not the most exciting guy to watch fight and even if so why should he be penalized for it when he is winning fights? It took current champion Daniel Cormier 2 fights in the light heavyweight division to get to a title fight ( And also to dominant wins in the Heavyweight Division helped his case). 3 fights for Anthony Johnson including a win over 2 time title contender Alexander Gustafsson (8–4 UFC). 6 fights for Alexander Gustafsson himself. And 5 wins for Glover Teixeira (6–2 UFC). So on average are some fans and Ryan Bader himself really far off the wagon here considering that there is the average between 3 to 6 fights before someone gets a shot in the light heavyweight division depending on how they win. In Ryan Baders' words ;

"It's more palatable that it's Jon Jones coming back and getting it than the whole (Alexander) Gustafsson situation coming off a knockout loss and all that," 

"For me, it looks like I've got to beat all these guys in the top five to get a shot. For me, having a big main event on FOX and fighting Anthony Johnson and he's ranked No. 1 and that's where we want to be. Obviously, I wanted to title shot but that's not happening. The next best thing is this fight."

"It goes back to, for me, I'm not really worried about it anymore. Obviously, I want it and that's my goal to win the title but I'm done thinking about it," Bader said. "I thought about it the last couple of fights and all last year and it hasn't happened yet so now it's just about beating the next guy in front of me and that's Anthony Johnson."

"I have no idea if I'm getting the next title match. They might do a rematch, they might do Jones vs. Gustafsson 2, so who knows for me. From my perspective, I go out there and beat Anthony Johnson I'll literally go through the whole top ten and for me that's validation right there."

 Or we could get controversial here and just say maybe the UFC doesn't want  Ryan Bader to fight for the title because he's not that big of a draw? Either way Ryan Bader seems to be set for a fight with Anthony Johnson for a title Eliminator match with most fans already say that he is going to lose.
