Maybe there’s something to these Bellator vs. Strikeforce superfights, after all.
While Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney has openly lobbied for a matchup between
his company’s lightweight champion, Eddie Alvarez, and Strikeforce’s
155-pound kingpin Gilbert Melendez, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has yet
to commit to a potential superfight.
But with Rebney now publicly pushing for his champions Hector Lombard
and Ben Askren to face their Strikeforce counterparts – Ronaldo “Jacare”
Souza and Nick Diaz, respectively – Coker says it’s time for the
Bellator CEO to get serious if he’s ready to deal.
