Coker is hoping to bring a major show to Japan later this year
Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:24 pm
Scott Coker, plan to hold a card Dec. 29 at Saitama Super Arena with a main event featuring Emelianenko, perhaps the greatest heavyweight fighter of all time.
Emelianenko made his name fighting for Japan's now-defunct Pride FC organization. Coker said the planned opponent for Emelianenko is former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson. If Jackson is not available, Bellator could look to recent signee Josh Barnett, the former UFC heavyweight champion, Coker said.
Coker said he'd also like Bellator light heavyweight champion Ryan Bader to fight Rizin light heavyweight champion Jiri Prochazka on the Japan card, if it happens. Coker said fighters like UFC veterans Phil Davis and Lorenz Larkin have expressed interest in fighting at the event at Saitama as well.
