Twitter reacts to Vadim Nemkov’s title-winning TKO of Ryan Bader at Bellator 244

Stunner in the #Bellator244 main event. Vadim Nemkov utterly brutalizes Ryan Bader to claim the light heavyweight title. Ref gave Bader every chance but he couldn’t recover.

Interesting how before this fight people were talking about Bader being the number 1 LHW in the world with Jones leaving the division, now people saying he wouldn’t even be top 10. And I can’t disagree. He was pretty awful tonight. Everything was off with him.

Not sure about letting it go that long but Nemkov becomes the new light heavyweight champ for Bellator. Should’ve stuck with guy I pegged as the division’s dark horse a couple of years ago… congrats Vadim and hope Bader is alright after that. #Bellator244

Sadly I saw that coming…Bader is still a beast but that kid was hungry.

Well, Ryan Bader can’t say the ref didn’t give him a chance to go out on his shield.

Vadim Nemkov just demolished Ryan Bader in the second round, becomes new Bellator light heavyweight champion.

Very, very impressive stuff by Nemkov. He looked solid everywhere. #Bellator244
