Bellator President Scott Coker appeared on MMA Fighting’s MMA Hour this afternoon and he was pretty open about wanting to talk to Brock Lesnar about signing a deal.
‘We’ve had a conversation internally and it’s worth a conversation, but that’s something we’ll pursue maybe later into January,” Coker told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s MMA Hour.
“I would say, look, any fighter that’s out there or any star athlete – not star athlete in the sense of a baseball player, but like a Brock Lesnar – that really wants to fight, we’re going to have a conversation with them. Because if they can move the needle, we’re going to want them on Spike TV.
“I think that he’s a big needle mover. There have been several years that have passed and I think that he still has the WWE limelight. So, I think that he still has a lot of star power, but to come back and say, ‘Hey, I want to train, I want to commit, I want fight’, that’s going to be a big commitment. We haven’t had a conversation yet, but we’d like to,” Coker said.
