    Heavily rumoured that Scott Coker is being lined up for Rebney's role. Will be a massive move given that in my eyes Coker is a better front man than Dana.

    Great news for Bellator if they do get Scott. Scott took Strikeforce from a regional Kickboxing show to the clear #2 MMA league in the World. Viacom probably feels Scott can do it again with Bellator.

    Word is that Bellator are trying to bring Kimbo back.

    If true, I'd be wary that Viacom want to push the freak show option for cheap ratings.

    In fairness its not like UFC are above such shenanigans. They tried to take advantage of the Kimbo hype train too. Plus they did give us James Toney vs Randy Couture.

    James Thompson made a post on his facebook page alluding to a kimbo rematch.
