Some believe that Halloween evolved from an ancient Celtic holiday named “Samhain”. Those that acknowledged this holiday would wear costumes to ward off any ghosts that might be haunting the area. That doesn’t sound like it makes a lot of sense, I mean they are already dead so what does a ghost have to be afraid of?

The tradition evolved to kids begging their neighbours for sugary candy while adults dress up as sexy cats and get plastered on a weeknight.

Bad evidently was going as a “Female Body Builder” but it appears he has just put on a bikini top and called it a costume. This costume does make me wish that Wanderlei Silva would dress up as Cyborg one Halloween.

Bader has won 6 of his last 7 fights, and is currently #4 in the LHW rankings. Unfortunately for Bader his 1 loss in his last 7 was a 1st round knockout at the hands of Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.
