With the UFC light heavyweight title fight for UFC 187 now between Daniel Cormier and Anthony Johnson, the odd man out is Ryan Bader. Bader was booked to fight Cormier at UFC Fight Night 68 in New Orleans on June 6, but when Jon Jones was suspended indefinitely and stripped of the belt for a felony hit-and-run in New Mexico, he found himself without a fight.
Now that Cormier has been chosen to stand in for Jones against Johnson for the 205-pound title, Bader is training for an invisible foe.
