Coker commented on this

quote:

I think that maybe we jumped the gun a little bit,” Coker said. “We went and talked to Matt and said, ‘Hey, are you OK?’ and he felt that he was fine. But along with the other fighters that fight on these cards, we’re going to take them through the proper medical tests. The commission will be getting involved, and we’ll see what their position is and make a determination on what happens from here.

Doesn't Bellator almost exclusively have shows at casino's on reserves where they can dodge commission stuff, or was that WSOF?

For the most part. WSOF tends to do reservations but also does stuff in Vegas and other states with actual Athletic Commissions.

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Bellator does a lot of shows in St. Louis now that Coker's in charge and Missouri has a surprisingly competent athletic commission from what I understand. That said, Coker has a feeder league relationship with the Shamrock FC guy who is shockingly not related to the Shamrock Bros., so I guess cultivating that relationship for easy access to the lightly-seasoned-but-unknown-enough-to-work-for-peanuts prelim filler talent Bellator relies on is worth risking having one of your star athletes exposed as a geriatric steroid demon before his heart can explode at 42 years old.

I've submitted some research to LobsterMobster and I expect she will publish it all in a more readable format in the future, but until then here are some highlights for Missouri:

"A contestant licensed by the office may be required to submit to any medical examination or test ordered by the office prior to participation in a bout, including a drug test." This sentence indicates that they do not actually do any testing but they reserve the right if they want to (hahaha yeah right). Missouri also has a weird law that prohibits promoting a combative fighting event but excluding MMA.

Here is a cheatsheet, current as of 2012, of all commissions (including the reservations) regulations and stuff. It's literally the only thing I can find with any kind of rules and regulations for the tribal athletic commissions and it's pretty much what you would expect. It also confirms that Missouri is pretty lovely.

It's not really shocking that Bellator, who are owned by Viacom, are not above finding loopholes to cut costs.



Or the amount of effort they would need to put in.

It's not an MMA one but I remember in college some ad for a boxing PPV event that was literally just the two fighters photos (at separate events) with some really bad audio of a phone altercation they got in on a radio show or something.

It was absolutely worst than that promo you linked.

I think it was even an HBO Boxing event too.

He's pretty great. He fought Urijah Faber in his 2nd pro-fight and lost due to a cut. It was Faber's 17th pro-fight.
