I think I needed a name like Rashad Evans, you know, former champion, to end that five fight win streak with a name like that. Hopefully that deserves enough to get a title shot here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bader didn&#8217;t land too many power shots on a returning Evans, but was able to pick him away with his jab throughout the fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the fight with Rashad we knew the jab was going to work. I have a fast jab. I&#8217;ve been showing that the last couple of fights and so this time I went out there and right when I popped two jabs in his face he really didn&#8217;t have an answer for it and I see his face was already swelling up and he&#8217;s blinking and trying to get that double vision out of his eyes and I just knew he couldn&#8217;t get into my range without getting popped with that jab.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The win was Bader&#8217;s fifth in a row and would normally secure a heavy hitter like him a shot at the title. However, &#8220;Rumble&#8221; is coming off an exciting knockout victory over Jimi Manuwa and Jon Jones could be returning to the octagon soon.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think should be next in line for a shot at gold?
