Ryan Bader vs. Rashad Evans set for UFC 192

[Edge Guerrero]

A big light heavyweight showdown between Ryan Bader and Rashad Evans is on tap for UFC 192 in Houston, Texas.

Ryan Bader has obviously been disappointed over not receiving the next light heavyweight title shot, but a win in his next fight would surely be enough to get him the next crack at the belt. UFC president Dana White confirmed on Wednesday's edition of UFC Tonight that Bader will face Rashad Evans at UFC 192 on October 3rd in Houston, Texas. The night's main event has yet to be decided.

Bader (19-4) has won 4 straight, including a split decision win over Phil Davis at UFC on FOX 14 in Sweden. In theory, with Jon Jones stripped of his title and Daniel Cormier winning the vacant belt in May, Bader seemed next in the pecking order. Instead, Alexander Gustafsson was chosen, and Bader will instead be fighting a former champion and not the current champion.

Evans (19-3-1) has been on the sidelines healing up from knee problems and multiple surgeries. He was last seen in a UFC cage back in November 2013 when he defeated Chael Sonnen by 1st round TKO in the UFC 167 co-main event. He was scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier at UFC 170 before pulling out with a knee injury, and another surgery delayed his return further when he was due to face Glover Teixeira this past February.

No doubt it's as good a fight as you could possibly make in the light heavyweight division.
