the american Ryan bader intended to move up in the light heavyweight division with a victory over Glover Teixeira in Belo Horizonte and get closer to a possible title fight. However, after being knocked out by the Brazilian on September 4th, Bader was forced to reevaluate his goals and, on Wednesday night (18th), his next challenge in Ultimate was confirmed. The TUF 8 champion will face veteran Anthony Perosh, in Australia, his opponent's home ground.

Ryan “Darth” Bader has a record of 15 wins and four losses. The North American won the eighth season of The Ultimate Fighter by knocking out Brazilian Vinny “Pezão” Magalhães in the decision of the reality show. His opponent, 41-year-old Australian Anthony Perosh, has a record of 14 wins and seven losses. Perosh is coming off a victory, coincidentally, over Vinny Magalhães, at UFC Rio 4.

UFC Fight Night 33, the event that hosts the fight between Perosh and Bader, takes place on December 6, in Brisbane, Australia. Due to the time difference, in Oceania, the event will be held the following day, December 7th. In the main fight of the night, Antônio “Pezão” Silva faces the New Zealander Mark Hunt. In the evening's co-main event, Mauritius Shogun stares at James Te Huna.
