Ryan Bader won't see Star Wars 'The Force Awakens,' only uses 'Darth' to avoid 'Master Bader'

It's a big weekend for Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), as it is for the "Star Wars" movie franchise.

"The Force Awakens," the seventh film in the main series and the first following Walt Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm in Oct. 2012, is set to bring legions of loyal fans of the critically-acclaimed space opera to movie theaters across the country just as UFC on FOX 17 packs the house inside Amway Center tomorrow night (Sat., Dec. 19, 2015) in Orlando, Florida.

Just don't count on UFC's No. 4-ranked Light Heavyweight Ryan Bader (also known as "Darth") snagging a ticket (via TMZ).
