History will be made in Phoenix, Arizona, when reigning Bellator heavyweight champion Ryan Bader takes on interim champion Valentin Moldavsky for the undisputed title at Bellator 273.
Bader comes into this fight on the back of a dissapointing loss to Corey Anderson at last year's Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix and now faces an opponent who is 6-0 in Bellator.
