Immediately after celebrating a big milestone event, questions about Bellator MMA’s future were posed to its president Scott Coker.
Bellator 300 was a big show for the California-based promotion that featured three title fights. The promotion aimed for four at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, but one apart in the days before the event. Regardless, champions Liz Carmouche, Cris Cyborg, and Usman Nurmagomedov entered and exited with their respective titles, but what comes next for them and everyone else on the Bellator roster is uncertain.
At the post-event news conference, Coker was asked to speak about the rumors of an upcoming sale or merger of the promotion. There have even been talks that all operations may cease. Coker wouldn’t comment much about the situation, considering everything that will happen going forward with the promotion lies in the hands of its parent company Viacom.
