Your point is negated because Bellator should be much further along than this after Coker has had 5 years of being in charge. Liam McGeary, Linton Vassell, Paul Daley, MVP, Norman Parke, Paul Redmond and even Brett McDermott are all fighters who should be co Main Eventing and Main Eventing Bellator cards in England and not some new to the sport reality star. The level of skills those fighters would show in their performances alone would build the Bellator brand better in England than Aaron Chalmers right now.
Poor low level skill performance is not growth, it's laughable
I'm not the least bit upset. But to give English fans Aaron Chalmers vs Corey Browning as a co-Main Event is pathetic especially when Bellator has high level fighters who have paid their dues through the years in the sport from the UK like Paul Daley and MVP and Liam McGeary and Linton Vassell and Norman Parke and Paul Redmond on their roster that could have easily co-Main Evented and Main Evented any Bellator card in the UK.
Bellator has fighters like Paul Daley and MVP and Liam McGeary and Linton Vassell and Norman Parke and Paul Redmond all on their roster that have paid their dues fighting on regional circuits in England before making it to a major organization that offer a much higher skill set and would put on better performances right now than Aaron Chalmers and are much more deserving on co-Main Eventing and Main Eventing any Bellator UK card. I don't do comparisons of Bellator to the UFC or one MMA organization to another MMA organization. And much props to Aaron Chalmers, but he should not be co-Main Eventing or Main Eventing right now in his MMA career.
I believe in my statement I stated I don't do comparisons of one MMA organization to another MMA organization. My entire belief is that Bellator can be putting their best foot forward other than what they are doing. This is a MMA organization that has or had Bobby Lashley, who was doing great ratings on his segments, yet Bellator managed to never use him in any co-Main Events or Main Events. MVP has been in zero Main Events and only one or maybe two co-Main Events. Bellator could have easily introduced their new Channel 5 television deal by having MVP vs Paul Daley on it, but they let DAZN squash that. Bellator could have opened up on channel 5 by having Liam McGeary or Linton Vassell on the card and/or Norman Parke and Paul Redmond on the card. Even reached out to Brett McDermott and put him on the introduction to channel 5 card. I don't mind Aaron Chalmers being on the card. But at this point in his career, he is better suited for the prelims. I just belief the English fans could have gotten a whole lot better show from Bellator.
