Minakov vs GDS!!!!!!

Wow, this is going to be a bad ass fight. Really hope they have a stream for this one.

Coker needs to seriously lay the law down.

What does that mean?

Hes letting minakov fight....minakov isnt acting out lol....brett cooper has been lent out alot as well.

I would however after this fight like to see minakov back in the bellator cage.i think he wanted to keep busy since he isnt super young and bellator has less events it works.

But you shouldnt be lending your champ out to regularly lol hopefully this favor is returned in the future from the other orgs having a business relationship with coker.

This is a real good fight. Fights needs to host a stream for this one.

They need to at least create an interim belt.

Hes not injured or unwilling to defend....frankly they are getting the hw division in order and meanwhile hes staying busy while coker improves relations by sharing fighters.

But like i Said id like to see him back in bellator asap.

Yeah but he hasn't defended in a year and a half, they should get an interim.

Its not his decision or fault he hasnt defended.....for whatever reason bellator hasnt really been focusing on hw.

Im hoping his return is soon.

You mean they haven't been giving him the fights? That's stupid, he should be promoted.

Im not completely aware of the situation tbh...

I know coker has lent some guys to keep busy and to save a few cards i also know minakov wants to keep busy and with bellator putting on less shows maybe he chose a few tuneups.

I know there hasnt been any visa issues....so i can only assume he is planning a return soon and since bellator seems to be ramping up events im thinking he will be part of an event in the near future.

Im going to be keeping an eye out for any minakov news for sure.

Is it true this is going to be aired on youeffsee fite pass?!? WTF!

Yea very strange that Bellator is letting him fight & not putting him to defend his title. Even weird that not one person in the MMA media has asked about this to Coker in an interview.

Very unclassy......i liked fight nights....
