Ryan Bader prepared to wrestle but expecting to strike at UFC 119

On paper, it's clear that Ryan Bader has an easy plan for victory when he meets Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 119: get a takedown, work from the top, rinse and repeat.

Bader, a two-time All-American and three-time Pac-10 champion at Arizona State University, has the wrestling chops to follow that recipe. But where's the fun in that?

"If I get tagged, I can take the fight down," Bader told MMAjunkie Radio. "But no, I'm not looking to go out there and take the fight down and ride out a decision."
