Exclusive: Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney Talks Women’s MMA, Fighter Insurance, Impact Wrestling and More

I managed to catch up with Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney after Bellator 69 at the L’Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana on Friday night. Bjorn touched on issues such as fighters who stuck out on the undercard, why the Asplund vs. Sparks fight didn’t happen, MMA in New York and much more. Come inside after the jump for the full interview, as well as fight videos from the fighters that Bjorn Rebney mentions.

Unfortunately, all the videos currently online of the Josh Quayhagen fight are actually of the Richard Hale vs. Josh Burns fight. But we do have Russian prospect Andrey Koreshkov’s brilliant performance against Derrick Krantz. By the way, Koreshkov and co. all had matching airbrushed shirts, which I totally dug.
