White: Coker a better fit for Bellator
Dana White: ““I was in business with them [Spike TV] for a long time, and I think this is a much better fit for them than ‘Bjork’ was.”
Earlier this week the UFC’s biggest rival, Bellator MMA announced that President Bjorn Rebney would be leaving the company and former UFC employee and Strikeforce President Scott Coker would replace him. UFC President Dana White had remained quiet about the change, but recently spoke to AXS TV:
Regarding Bellator, White was diplomatic about Coker taking over for Rebney, whose first name he often took jabs at by calling him Bjork instead of Bjorn – which apparently will continue.
Not only do I know Scott very well, I know the guys at Spike (TV) very well, White said. I was in business with them for a long time, and I think this is a much better fit for them than ‘Bjork’ was.
