Yes! @ScottCoker is back to MMA business!
And he gives more details about the new promotion in the market next year in an interview with the Japanese media, Gong Kakutogi:
Scott Coker tells New York Post Sports his new MMA promotion will be doing a single weight class World Grand Prix Tournament throughout the year. Then they will buy free agents from the top down, as well as find new talent:
'The tournament format is gonna build new stars, but also we're gonna buy free agents from the top down, just like we built Strikeforce.
Strikeforce was a league that we built from the bottom up. Which means we signed Daniel Cormier, who had no fights. Ronda Rousey. No fights. We had all these great fighters that had no fights and we built their careers, but we also bought, let's say Fedor's contract...we sprinkled in with the fighters that we wanted and that's what we're gonna do here as well.'
