“It’s not just us going after them (the UFC’s fighters). Believe me, they’re calling us. This is not a one-way street where we’re just going after fighters. We’re going to win some. We’re going to lose some. That’s just how the nature of this beast is going to be.” “If you’re a free agent out there or you’re going to become a free agent, you’re going to talk to everybody. You’re going to want to use your leverage to get the best deal you can. We’re in a position now with the Viacom ownership group, there’s not going to be any fighter that’s out of the price range.” In a new interview with The MMA Hour, Scott Coker discussed his continued acquisition of top MMA talent.

When a fighter loses the belt it’s up to them to come back and earn a couple of wins  to get back to the title.
