Of course Scott Coker and his staff would be interested in Austin Vanderford, they love everything with UFC ties. Any wonder why the perception for Bellator during the Scott Coker era is UFC dumping ground and UFC retirement home and UFC lite? No wonder Bellator's ratings are awful because people recognize a copy. But congratulations to Austin Vanderford, dude is a 2 Time National NAIA Wrestling Champion and 6-0 in MMA.
Wow Bellator swooped right in! Good for them. He obviously has some name value if he’s PVZ’s guy.
Don't forget hyping PFL (an org I like, but not nearly as much as Rodney) and fighters that nobody cares about (Justin Wren, someone I respect for what he does outside the cage, but not really at all for what he does in it). Rodney seems to have a legitimate agenda, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has ties to a team, or a specific org.And again. Wow.
It's like bashing Coker is your only purpose in this forum...
I think he is. I remember before the TNCS fight he said something like the UFC should sign him because he's "undefeated, natty champ, PVZ's man". LOL. Then after that he was on Ariel's show and Ariel asked if he was annoyed people called him "Mr VanZant" but he was actually cool with playing it up as that guy.If he's smart he'll really embrace that "Mister PVZ" angle in a funny and self-deprecating way. People will either love it or be butthurt and he'll get a ton of attention.
Attention + winning = the big time.
