Got any news on Bjorn Rebney?
Does he have plans to go back in mma business again?

Stole? It was his company.Since the epic fail of MMAAA he's back to be completely low profile.
His GF is running some business, he probably helps her.
I'm sure he stole enough money both from Bellator and Sugar Ray Leonard...

I don’t know but I hope he catches on as a promoter elsewhere. I think he had a good vision and he was the first in North America to notice the deep talent reserves in the Caucasus.
It’s a shame that Bellator purged their Dagestani community when the Coker regime came in. I don’t believe there is a single one left when they were loaded with them in the Bjorn era.
I'm pretty sure it's Bjorn who started to get rid of them initially.
Frodo had visa problems that never got resolved and then Coker just released him when he came in.
He called the guy a terrorist and doesn’t want to do business with him. Not sure who it is.
The issues with Visa started in Bjorn era and Frodo's management actually blamed Bellator for it.
Also, BTW - Bjorn did not let Frodo fight outside of Bellator. He let a lot of other fighters fight outside of Bellator, even GP winners like Frodo - but not this time.
The whole release came as a relief to Frodo and his management. Finally they could resume his fighting career.
Hoho. I cannot imagine Coker, who is afraid to put the word out of his mouth anyway, to talk to anyone like that.
Any source for this, by any chance? BTW, as far as I remember, Light lost the legal dispute, right?
The only thing I can think of is, actually, Ruslan Magomedov mentioned by you.
He's one of Kadyrov's trained "army", right?
Maybe Coker simply doesn't want to do any business with the Chechen tyrant, the oppressor of minorities with blood on his hands?
Yes, I just looked it up again but the “fucking terrorist” allegation was in regards to manager Anthony McGann of Wolfslair. So I didn’t remember that correctly. I don’t believe McGann has anything to do with fighters from the Russian Federation.
Still no fighters from Dagestan in Coker’s Bellator though. That’s just pretty glaring in this era and considering Bellators past unless they’re all from the same managerial pipeline that won’t work with Bellator...or Bellator doesn’t want any of them.
Frodo still hasn’t fought in the United States despite signing a deal with WSOF after his release so there is a good chance his visa problems weren’t a Bellator creation.
Frodo was a tournament winner and number 1 contender. Bjorn had just dealt with the Eduardo Dantas-Tyson Nam crap. I’m pretty sure he wanted Frodo back in the fold but didn’t want him taking an L on some Russian show.
As for Ruslan. Maybe you’re right. Maybe that’s how he views a lot of fighters from the region seeing as none of them are in Bellator anymore.
Bjorn created Bellator and funded it through investments. His ratings were better than Coker's at a fraction of the cost. If Bjorn "stole" money, then Coker is Lee Murray.They were partners. Ever heard about possibility that one partner steals from another?
