Coker Confirms Contact With Carano Camp
BJPENN.COM News - August 18, 2014
“If you look at our past, we have always believed in female fighting. Whether it was back in the kickboxing days on ESPN, I was the first person to do female fighting in the state of California in mixed martial arts; which was the Gina Carano vs. Elena Maxwell fight. And we did some big fights, Ronda fought for Strikeforce and I believe in it. We were the pioneers for female mixed martial arts and it’s just a natural fit. We started getting contacted by camps around the world and Marloes and Budd became available and they wanted to come. Right now, we are talking to two other girls that we’ll hopefully have on board soon. We’re going to add another division in the next three or four months that will be in the lighter weight, but I can’t say which one.”
Coenen To Carano: 'Go kill your career against Rousey, or come to Bellator and fight me'
BJPENN.COM News - August 15, 2014
“If Gina is smart she will sign with Bellator. She can fight at 145lbs, she won’t have to cut to 135lbs, it is a more normal weight for her. She had a lot of problems making 145lbs and I have fought at 135lbs and I know how bad that made me feel, so for her… I think she can show her talent better at 145lbs and I really want to fight her.” “I think if she wants to kill her career she should take that 135lbs match with Ronda Rousey right away. I think for her it would be more interesting to go to Bellator and fight at 145lbs and win a few fights, then see where she is up to.”
