I think I can safely say that I've finished looking at Tom Lawlor's Halloween costume for today. It's also safe to say that I will spend roughly the same amount of time looking at it tomorrow. When you have something constructed out of cotton, nylon and awesome, it's hard to peel your eyes from it. Leave it to the Scott Coker to derail my brain cells for the night with his recent statement to Sherdog claiming he's never received the texts Bjorn Rebney has claimed to send him in the past few weeks.

“Bjorn’s saying he’s texting me 11, 12 times an hour. I’m not sure if he’s trying to be a level-five clinger or anything like that, but I haven’t received one text from the guy. I’m not sure what the motivation is, but maybe it’s just his way of staying in the media, staying in the press.”

“Let’s face it: Gilbert’s fought everybody. He beat the guy that Eddie lost to. For them to say, ‘Oh, Gilbert’s ducking him’ — come on, let’s be real. Gilbert has ducked nobody, and neither has Eddie. These are two great fighters. The thing is, if Bjorn’s serious about doing this, then there has to be a business component that has to be worked out. Unfortunately that hasn’t started yet. It’s just been a bunch of stuff in the media. He’s chosen the media to use it as a platform to try to push this thing along, but I think it’s maybe a PR move.”

“It’s very obvious to me he’s using the media as a platform to try to do his business, but that’s not how we’re going to do business. If he wants to do business, call me or fly out here, come sit down with me. If there’s a deal to be made, we’ll try to make it, but I’m not going to do it in the media. That’s for sure.”

In a moment that can only make my ex-girlfriend proud, Bjorn Rebney has released screen captures of his cell phone that allegedly shows he attempted to contact Scott Coker on multiple occasions, yet to no avail. It just got real, folks.

Bjorn just sunk to a new low.

This is more embarrassing than drawing 900 fans to your event.

This guy is the poor mans version of Dana White.
And that's nothing to be proud of.

New low? How exactly has he done that? It's Coker that is acting like he's trying his best to get the fight together. Bjorn is just calling him on his lies.

Actually I'd say this guy has done an amazing job bringing Bellator to where it is in such a brief amount of time. If they dont draw a big gate that's probably because they realize that the REAL money in sports comes from tv deals. And they do kinda have one have with a major network something the UFC has never been able to do.

Im not so sure Coker really wants those fights to happen because I think Bellator has a small chance to win all three which woul kinda make Strikeforce look like poop.

Dont get me wrong I like Strikeforce and their fighters it just that it sucks how in mma they want fighters to be tied down to a certain league/promotio n thing.

Well Bellator's TV deal sucks almost as bad as their gate #'s so that's not a good argument.
Their FSN deal COSTS them money.

Like it or not this paticular co-promotion does nothing for Strikeforce and isn't gonna happen.

Their other co-promotions made sense for them that's why they did it.
CO-promote with EliteXC get on Cable TV.
Co-promote with M-1 get Fedor under contract.
Co-promote with Bellator...why? To please some internet fans and Gilbert Melendez?
Who'd lose as far as I'm concerned.
Makes no sense for Strikeforce and has zero chance of happening.

If Im not mistaken, Bellator actually has to pay the Stations to be brodcasting their shows, much the same as TNA Wrestling had to do in the begining to get their name out. And even if they're not anymore, they sure as shit arent making much if any profit from them dont think

Sad but true, dude was a shady fucking boxing promoter that sucked at that an is now infecting MMA with his poison no doubt. I'll be super fuckin surprised if it infact turns out true. Just dont see it happening, ever. Like Coker says, why even bring it out to the media BEFORE any formal convo's happen? Campaign after they happen an get shot down perhaps, not before :/
If Bjorn really wants it to have these fights happen its simple, Let Coker an SF sign the 3/4 fighters, Alvarez, Lombard, Askren ect. to a 3Fight contract for SF, Let them handle it ALL and be down with it. Simple really.

the truth is i have no idea or have any interest in any of the bellator fighters. I don't even know what channel or what time its on. It's a pretty boring fight league. just because they don't show the personality of the fighters. I know eddie alvarez from japan. He looks like a great fighter , but I don't know his personality. The strikeforce fighters had some limelight from elite xc and showtime, cbs at least. Lombard. who the hell is that? i know hes good but i dont know him. why do i care? Askren? lol lyman good? they're not big selling names thats for sure.

I'll give Bjorn a little bit of credit, he's the head of an organization and he's been beating the drum publicly about these match-up's for some time now. Not like this is out of the blue or anything. Only makes sense that he would follow up his numerous TV, Radio and site interviews with a few texts to El Cokerino.

Coker is a such a little weenie.

He's trying to make it seem like Strikefarce is this gigantic whirlwind of excitement, accusing Bjorn of "trying to stay in the media" by doing this. Bellator is in the media every other week with some fuckin' crazy ninja move that sits someone on their ass, or a HUGE upset like Fujii v. Frausto.

The last time I cared about SF was before Coker basically prevente Diaz v. Miller from going down. I mean Diaz v. Noons was good, but nothing compared to anything Lombard or Alvarez has been in.

I just saved 111-111-1111 in my phone as Scott Coker Mobile, and guess what.. now my phone says I have Coker's number and I can send him texts that he'll never get. Very likely any of these released texts are legit. Plus, judging by the phone this guy's using, he needs all the PR he can get.
