Now CEO Bjorn Rebney finds himself in a position he’s been in before – hoping to keep one of his champions rather than lose him to the competition. Rebney on Wednesday confirmed to MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) that Askren’s win over Andrey Koreshkov at this past week’s Bellator 97 card was the last fight on his current deal.

Manager Mike Kogan today indicated that a deal should get done before Nelson’s exclusive negotiating period ends at the end of August, when he may entertain offers from other promotions. “The length of his exclusive negotiating period isn’t really a factor right now,” Kogan told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “We’re actively talking. I’m sure it’s not going to take a few months to make a deal, if there is a deal to be made.” Specifics of the negotiations remain a closed-door conversation.
