Scott Coker says Caldwell vs. Horiguchi has rematch clause – in Bellator, not Rizin

BAD MMA News — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 01:47:15 +0000

Darrion Caldwell won’t put his Bellator title on the line when he meets Kyoji Horiguchi at Rizin FF 14 later this month. Rather, it’s Rizin’s inaugural 135-pound title that will be at stake. That doesn’t exclude, however, the possibility of Horiguchi fighting for a Bellator belt in the future. In fact, the recently-announced meeting between Bellator bantamweight champion Caldwell and Rizin’s Horiguchi opens a few different paths for other cross-promotional bouts, perhaps involving the same two players. Speaking to MMAjunkie about the deal, Bellator president Scott Coker explained the terms he discussed with Rizin FF president Nobuyuki Sakakibara in order to facilitate the bout, which takes place Dec.

Why cross-promotional title fights could be just what Bellator and Rizin FF need right now

BAD MMA News — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 23:21:28 +0000

New Year’s Eve is just the beginning, according to Bellator President Scott Coker. When he sends Darrion Caldwell , his promotion’s bantamweight champ, across the Pacific to fight Kyoji Horiguchi for the Rizin FF title at the end of the year, he’s banking on it being the start of a beautiful – and mutually beneficial – friendship. And, if they get the details just right and both sides stay true to their commitments, he might end up being right.
