Coker Reacts To UFC Lawsuit: ‘Bellator isn’t minor league’

By BJPENN.COM News - December 27, 2014

Scott Coker

“Labeling a league based on the past can be misleading, because the fighters that are here today fighting for us are gonna be the next Luke Rockholds, the next Daniel Cormiers. They’re going to be the next stars of MMA.

“Do I think Bellator is a minor league? The answer is no.”

Is the UFC a monoploy? Do they have an unfair stake in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts?
Rival promotor, Scott Coker, says no way!

Thoughts?
