In FloCombat's newest series, Senior Editor Duane Finley shucks traditional interview format in order to get down to what really matters to those who call fighting their passion. Finley has been one of the premier storytellers in the sport for the better part of the past decade, and his unorthodox, conversation-based interview style has led to the creation of some of the most memorable projects to be created over that timeframe.

In "Real Talk With Bo," Finley sits down with the biggest names in the fight game present and past and gets down to what matters. In the latest installment of the series, highly touted free agent Ryan Bader opens up on all the details surrounding his situation with Bellator and the UFC. The Ultimate Fighter winner turned perennial title contender fought out his contract in order to test the free agency market, and this resulted in the the Power MMA leader receiving a lucrative contract offer from Bellator MMA.

And while UFC President Dana White publicly stated the biggest promotion in MMA would not be matching the offer Bellator made, information requests and the invoking of a matching period have put the entire situation in limbo for the time being. Nevertheless, Bader is extremely happy with how the situation has played out because no matter which side locks him down, the 33-year-old father of three is going to get paid.
