A new day has dawned for Bellator. Bjorn Rebney, its founder and CEO, is out. Scott Coker, former Strikeforce head honcho, is in.
With Coker comes a complete overhaul of Bellator’s schedule and show structure. Tournaments, more or less, are a thing of the past. While the idea of a pure sport format applied to mixed martial arts was an excellent concept, the unwieldiness came at the expense of both the promotion’s fighters and the fans’ enjoyment. Now, though, fans can look forward Bellator’s top talent like Michael Chandler, Eddie Alvarez, Vitaly Minakov and Eduardo Dantas facing new challenges in an environment that will allow them to better grow with fans.
So what can fans look forward to in Bellator’s Scott Coker Era? Find out right here!
